Neat idea, how does this work?

Would be neat if there was some metadata that could be embedded in a website to highlight this.

Hey Mike, thanks for your interest in the project.
We've crawled the bcorp website and match off of the website url.
What do you proposed for this kind of metadata? And how do you suggest we highlight it?

This isn't something that is in place right now, but was spinning off an idea that came with discussions with the https://opencorporates.com/ folks.

Essentially one could have an xml file on the website which defines your corporate ownership & relationships with other businesses.

This came out of a controversy about Etsy & business ownership with Bcorp http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-08-14/etsy-taps-secret-irish-tax-haven-and-touts-transparency-at-home

But having something that would link back to http://www.bcorporation.net/community/etsy

Perhaps provide a link to a taxonomy where they blog about BCorp related stuff.

The http://www.bcorporation.net site isn't always up-to-date. Would be nice if they just had an API you could use rather than just crawling the site. Wouldn't be hard to expose that list in Drupal as a View.

Putting something in the site's metadata would be great, but it could be as simple as providing a line in the robots.txt file or simply having a common file naming convention.

corp.xml for instance could be used.
