WCM Receives B–Corporation Certification
WCM was certified as a B Corporation in February 2014. Inspired by local B Corps New Leaf Community Markets and NextSpace, WCM aspires to build a caring, sharing and sustainable economy through ethical business practices.
B corps are certified by the nonprofit, B Lab, to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
We are a B Corp because we believe that financial services are best delivered through a local, personal relationship where the buyer and seller live in the community together and the community impact of their decisions are felt by both parties.
We have lived through an era that has seen a triumph of marketing over quality and the unsustainable profit that can be made by externalizing costs. It is a new era now with a realization that finite resources and social justice demand a sustainable economy. B Corps are leading the transition to this new economy that works for the investors, the employees, the community and the planet.
The triple bottom line is the future of capitalism. WCM seeks to be a leader in this movement.
