Here’s another example of an organization reimagining capitalism.

“CFG Bank approaches opportunities with an entrepreneur’s mindset and invests as a committed community partner,” said Jeff Cherry, Founder and CEO of Novella Center for Entrepreneurship. “Their backing allows us to deliver the high-touch, essential work of readying Baltimore founders not just for capital, but also to expose them to the theories of stakeholder capitalism, and how practicing business differently generates more durable value. That support will keep helping us develop a pipeline into the future of Baltimore’s economy.” https://buff.ly/JaZFtKu

"Our company began with a simple mission to make high-quality meat more accessible to all. We soon discovered that meant doing something not so simple at all: rethinking our food system. We’re in pursuit of a better way, one that’s focused on animal welfare, supporting farmers, treating our planet with respect, and upholding diversity, equity, and inclusion across our business," Founder & CEO Mike Salguero.

Join us June 11 for our Conscious Capitalism in Action Series, where Mike will discuss how purpose and profit thrive together.

South Mountain Company is an integrated architecture, engineering, building, interiors, and solar company located on the island of Martha's Vineyard. Since it's inception, the company has been committed to using business as a force for good, balancing a triple bottom line (people, planet, and profit).

In 1987, South Mountain went from a sole proprietorship to a worker-owned cooperative. See how this decision changed everything and gave the company a true purpose. https://buff.ly/ugDR074

"It's not all about making a profit. For me, it's the giving back that is crucial to how we do things — for our community, for our workers and for the planet." Werner Jansen, Co-Owner and CEO, Bloomia.

Whole Foods Market Sourced for Good tulips come from Bloomia, a grower based in Virginia. Through the program, they pay a premium on every purchase — and at Bloomia, that premium goes directly back to workers to supplement their wages. In 2025 alone, Whole Foods Market provided more than $400,000 in premiums to Bloomia.

Fair wages are just the beginning. Bloomia is investing in its operations, its community and the planet. This is Conscious Capitalism at work.

If your successful business is losing its soul, it’s probably putting quarterly targets ahead of its founding purpose — and culture and passion drain away as you grow. To revive it, reconnect with your core “purpose,” treat customers like a community, be radically transparent, and align leadership values with that original mission.
