Many of our most iconic companies—such as Ben & Jerry’s, Keurig Green Mountain, Vermont Teddy Bear, Burton, Orvis, Cabot Creamery, Seventh Generation, and National Life—all focus on more than just their bottom line. Whether it’s a commitment to environmental sustainability, matched charitable giving, or a progressive maternity and paternity leave policy, Vermont companies often gain national attention for the way they enhance the lives of their employees and communities. Vermont is home to Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility, the country’s oldest and largest state-based business association dedicated to social responsibility and has the largest number of Certified B-Corps per capita.
Additionally, Vermont is becoming increasingly well-known as the home of startups to watch. The state is currently ranked #2 on the Main Street Entrepreneurship index and Burlington ranked #9 among the nation’s most innovative tech hubs.
