"Being a socially responsible company is inherent to our business at Exhibit Resources," said Calloway. "Gaining certification and status as a B Corp will enable us to better promote our commitment of social responsibility and our impact on the world around us. "

More than seven hundred businesses from sixty industries and twenty-four countries make up the B Corp community.
