A public benefit corporation (PBC) is a for-profit corporation with a stated public benefit included in its legal purpose. Unlike traditional corporations, PBCs must consider that purpose and the interests of other stakeholders, such as employees, customers, and communities, alongside the financial interests of shareholders. This structure allows businesses to pursue social or environmental goals while pursuing profits.
