Andrew Kassoy, co-founder of the nonprofit B Lab and a pioneer in the movement to use business as a tool for social change, has passed away at 55. He championed the idea that capitalism could—and should—benefit society, not just shareholders, and helped create the framework for Certified B Corporations. His work influenced thousands of companies to prioritize purpose alongside profit.

Editor’s Note: Kassoy’s legacy is a reminder that business isn’t just about making money—it can be a lever for solving big problems. His death isn’t just the loss of a visionary; it’s a moment to reflect on how far the "business for good" movement has come and how much further it still has to go. For anyone who cares about ethical capitalism, his ideas will keep shaping the conversation.
