In the United States, election day has come and gone but that doesn’t mean you can’t still let your voice be heard. Every dollar we spend or invest, every hour we work, and every transaction we make with other companies is a vote for the type of business and economy we want to succeed. By buying a company’s product, we’re endorsing its practices. But how can we find businesses — without hours of research — that align with our values? How can we trust that what a business says about its practices isn’t just a marketing scheme, with little basis in reality?

WHY BEING A B CORPORATION MATTERS

The B Corporation community works toward reduced inequality, lower levels of poverty, a healthier environment, stronger communities, and the creation of more high-quality jobs with dignity and purpose. By doing business with companies that are B Corps certified, you are casting your vote to support businesses that create a positive impact for their employees, communities, and the environment.

OverDrive is joining a group of other B Corp certified companies in the Vote Every Day. Vote B Corp movement and you can too. B Corporations are for-profit companies who use their platforms and assets for good. By choosing to support B Corporations, you’re helping promote sustainable and responsible companies who are doing their part to improve communities both locally and globally.
