Public Benefit Corporation Status
In February 2020, LBC incorporated under the laws of the State of Indiana as a public benefit corporation as a demonstration of its long-term commitment to the mission of benefitting its stakeholders and society. Benefit corporations are a relatively new designation for corporations that are intended to produce a public benefit and to operate in a responsible and sustainable manner.
Certified B Corporation Status Pending While not required by Indiana law or the terms of the certificate of incorporation, LBC elected to have its social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency assessed against the proprietary criteria established by an independent non-profit organization. As a result of this assessment, LBC has been designated as a “Certified B Corporation
TM - Pending” under the standards set by an independent organization, which refers to companies that are certified as meeting certain levels of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency.
