Organizers may pull North Carolina B Corps conference
An organization that defines its mission as serving businesses that believe that business is a force for good said that unless North Carolina changes its law requiring people to use public bathrooms based on the sex on their birth certificates rather than that which with they identify, it will move its annual conference, scheduled for October in North Carolina, out of the state.

Founded by Jay Coen Gilbert, Bart Houlahan and Andrew Kassoy, B Lab, with offices in Wayne, certifies companies as "B Corps," based on their meeting environmental, social and other standards. Gilbert and Houlahan were founders of the Philadelphia-based athletic shoe company, And 1, which they later sold.
The October events include a gathering of 1,700 B Corps chief executives as well as a conference for city economic developers, corporate supply chain managers, investors and college business educators.
