    Unlike a standard S or C corporation, B corporations exist to codify explicit commitments to social responsibility (while still being a for-profit entity). Jack B. Siegel analyzes and compares the state statutes currently in place, which nominally create a new corporate form but do little more than merely adding a new layer to a corporation's existing structure. This may best be viewed as an exercise in branding rather than corporate law.
