Based in Bogotá, Colombia, Acción Verde is a certified B Corporation that makes its money through committing to making the world better -- environmentally and socially. In that way, it's a true social and environmental business and, of course, an apt fit as a B Corporation. The enterprise plants trees in planned areas of Colombia in order to assess ecological restoration.
On the B Impact Report, the for-profit organization had an overall score of 115 (out of 200) and its top areas were community and environment, of which 65% and 66% were earned, respectively. That data comes from the date of certification, which wasn't too long ago, in August 2012.
