The purpose of this paper is to provide a moral argument based in Catholic Social Teaching to support the use of benefit corporations as a substitute for some government service programs. To date, however, little has been written about the benefit corporation’s potential ethical dimensions. Over time this may rob recipients of opportunities for labor and self-sufficiency.īenefit corporations are typically viewed as a form of socially responsible investment that leverages the economic advantages of market-based systems. Economic logic suggests that providing social welfare transfer payments with few work or training requirements can make recipients dependent and enable dysfunctional behavior. Nevertheless, poverty persists and government altruism may have made poverty more intractable in some respects. Since the late 1960s governments have spent trillions of dollars on a wide variety of social welfare programs. Thus, the benefit corporation can be viewed as a for-profit entity subject to an explicit social welfare constraint. Owners are aware of this dual mission but still invest as the social objectives are consistent with their personal goals. As a corporate form that explicitly sacrifices profit maximization to advance some predetermined social good, benefit corporations are one example of this gray sector. Recently a fourth or gray sector has developed that combines elements of the other three. Government entities extract resources from the economy and redistribute them to achieve certain public goods. The not-for-profit sector consists of private or quasi-public entities that provide goods and services without regard to making an explicit profit. For-profit entities seek to maximize owner profit by providing various goods and services. Economic activity is typically provided by three distinct sectors.
