Ever heard of Companization? Not a marketing thing but I think you will find it interesting. Essentially a company/corporation has a "do good things" oversight branch that has partial oversight and voting power within the organization. This branch tries to make sure that the company is looking out for the environment while doing its normal business, whatever that may be. Profits are still a goal but within the oversight of doing no, or less, harm.
Thanks for the tip! I wonder how the cultural dynamics of this kind of org would go. Sometimes departments can become antagonistic and develop resentment. (Ex. "Oh, the sales team doesn't care how many phone calls we get over here in customer support.") So, it makes me extra curious about how everyone would align and operate.
Yes, lots of questions. If you want I can try to contact the folks who started Plantagon, I was a quasi board member for the short time so I may still have a contact.

I have not. Totally new to me. Love the idea! I will have to find some kickass case studies for this. Thanks for sharing!!
Look up a company called Plantagon. They tried to form an organization like this but could not raise the funds. But they had a cool idea.

What a generous offer! Let me take a look and see if it's worth the intro before you do. Thanks for sticking your neck out for me!
