We have discovered many models over the years, but like a kid in a candy store, we've had our eye on B Corporations as far back as we can remember. One of the principles behind EnergyLogic is to help create sustainable buildings while also growing a socially responsible and sustainable business. We always envisioned joining a global community of people that use business as a force to do good.

B Corp Certification doesn't just evaluate a product or service; it assesses the overall positive impact of the company that stands behind it. And increasingly, that's what people care most about! In B Lab, the nonprofit that created and assesses B Corps, we found a global community of leaders that balance purpose and profit and work together to build a more inclusive and equitable economic system for all people and the planet.

Along with becoming a Certified B Corporation, we also officially amended our articles of incorporation with our state of Colorado to be a Public Benefit Corporation legally. We publicly and legally declared that:

EnergyLogic exists to benefit current and future Logicians, providing them with right-livelihood in a highly engaged culture, enabling them to deliver on the company’s mission of building better buildings in service of a healthy and sustainable planet.

What led us to use our profits and growth as a means to a greater end—making a positive impact for our employees, communities, and the environment as a Certified B Corporation serves as our guiding compass for our future decisions, actions, goals, and initiatives. Being a B Corp is a choice that pushes us to do more. It means that we meet a rigorous set of standards that we are passionately committed to as we work for an environmental and social benefit (while also making a profit).

This strenuous business model forces us to evaluate our performance consistently and to ask ourselves hard questions along the way. It requires us to operate to one of the world's highest business standards, balancing profit and purpose, public transparency, and legal accountability. It elevates our path to excellence by keeping us on track and accountable toward our responsibility to our employees, our clients, our community, and our planet.

As a B Corp, we continue to reduce our carbon footprint and share our voices to help make real progress on matters that are dear to our hearts. We contribute toward climate action as a champion to help reach net-zero, leading to more robust stewardship toward our Vision and Mission.

Society's most challenging problems cannot be solved by the government and nonprofits alone. The B Corp 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.

We are proud to be among the nearly 4,000 other B Corps around the world who are balancing purpose with profit while using their business as a force to do good. Through the B Lab, its extended family, and other B Corporations, we're connected and supported by a global network of equally dedicated people who share the same end goals.
