Current Initiatives

Benefit Corporations

We are actively working on enabling legislation that will empower businesses to elect a new corporate form, one that shifts the traditional view of fiduciary responsibility to maximize profits to one that maximizes benefits for society and the environment.  This new corporate form is called a benefit corporation and we hope, we believe that Colorado is ready for this new way of thinking.

Please view the embedded video to learn more about benefit corporations. Note that the first couple seconds are the end of previous story.
