A growing number of CDFI banks, including Virginia Community Capital, Sunrise Banks and Beneficial State Bank, are becoming certified B Corps -- corporations that use business to achieve social impact. For these banks, the B Corp label is an affirmation of their positive work bringing capital to underserved communities. For customers, it acts as a signal that the banks maintain high ethical standards to social and environmental goals. “Being a part of the B Corp community gives us the opportunity to stay focused on our mission to provide innovative capital promoting vibrant local communities and enriching people’s lives throughout Virginia,” said Jane Henderson, President and CEO of Virginia Community Capital.
