A public benefit corporation (or benefit corporation) is a type of for-profit corporate entity designed to produce a public benefit and operate in a responsible and sustainable manner. Unlike traditional corporations, which prioritize maximizing shareholder value, public benefit corporations are legally required to balance the pecuniary interests of their shareholders with the best interests of those materially affected by the corporation's conduct, including the public and the environment.
