From fair trade work attire to online eco printing, this top list of social enterprises for the office includes a few numbers to have on speed dial at work. For instance, in the same industry, there's Dolphin Blue, Inc. and Give Something Back. Dolphin Blue is a certified B corporation that offers printing services that are produced in such a way that isn't as big as a burden on the planet as their competitors. Give Something Back is also a B Corporation and it focuses significantly on the social side of things (more so than Dolphin Blue) by donating half of its profits to various non-profits working in the arts, the environment, animal welfare and social services.
These social enterprises for the office also include strategists and consultants.
