"Redefining Success in Business as Best FOR the World" The Skoll Foundation presents the Skoll Awards for Social Entrepreneurship each year to a select few social entrepreneurs whose proven innovations have demonstrated impact on some of the world's most pressing problems. The Skoll Award recognizes organizations with the potential to not only be individually successful, but also to catalyze large-scale, system-level change. B Lab (Wayne, USA) Social entrepreneurs: Jay Coen Gilbert, Bart Houlahan, Andrew Kassoy Co-founded by longtime friends and colleagues, Jay Coen Gilbert, Bart Houlahan, and Andrew Kassoy, B Lab is fueling a global movement to redefine "success" in business, so that all companies compete not only to be the best in the world, but the best for the world. B Lab is challenging the status quo by building a new sector, legal structure, and standards; empowering a community of certified B Corporations; and advancing public policies that enable companies to create financial, social, and environmental value for both its shareholders and for society. With 20 states having passed Benefit Corporation legislation, nearly 1,000 B Corporations certified, and 16,000 companies using its tools, B Lab is focused on accelerating the global adoption of this new model. www.bcorporation.net/ Video Credits: Director/Producer Michael Schwarz/Kikim Media Cinematographer Gabriel Diamond Editor Christie Herring Executive Producers Phil Collis Gabriel Diamond Narrator Leah Diamond Music Christopher Hedge Animation and Graphics Kia Simon For information on obtaining permission to use these films, email info@skollfoundation.org or call 650-331-1031. www.skollfoundation.org/
