WHAT IS BEST FOR DMV?

The Best for DMV Campaign aims to dramatically expand the number of District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) businesses that incorporate impact into their business models. We believe that the long-term change needed to address many of our regional challenges cannot be accomplished without broad-scale engagement of the private sector. We need more businesses to recognize the breadth of their impact and the power they have as change agents.

Take The Best For DMV Challenge

and See How Your Business Impacts DMV Area Workers, Communities, and the Environment.

Step 1: Assess

Sign up for our B Corp 101 Workshop Series to learn how your business can assess it’s triple bottom line (people, planet, profit). We’ll help you measure your company’s impact on DMV area workers, community, and the environment through B Lab’s B Impact Assessment and Sustainable Development Goals Action Manager tools.

STEP 2: COMPARE

The B Impact Assessment will compare your answers to other businesses similar to you and help you gauge where your company already excels and where it can improve.
