Setting the Record Straight: Dr. Bronner's, Purpose Pledge, B Corps, & LIFT Economy
A new initiative called the "Purpose Pledge" launched earlier this week. The timing—coinciding with Dr. Bronner’s decision to decertify as a B Corp—has led to questions about whether Purpose Pledge is designed to compete with B Corp certification. Folks are also understandably confused about why LIFT Economy is involved.
In this episode, we set the record straight.
- What is the Purpose Pledge, and how does it differ from B Corp Certification?
- Why did LIFT Economy help co-create it?
- Why do we believe B Corp and Purpose Pledge are complementary, not competing?
