Founded in 1983 by Muhammad Yunus, the Grameen Bank (Grameen is Bangledeshi for "village") provides small loans to rural borrowers in Bangladesh. In the years since, the Bank has become so successful (Yunus won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006),that a whole community of Grameen enterprises-known as the Grameen Bank Family of Companies-have sprung up around it. Some bring phone service to poor Bangledeshis, while others invest in technology startups. The whole range of companies is like a massive, multinational corporation, except this company's goal is social change.

28:53Coca-Cola Co. (nyse: KO - news- people ) is working to change that--along with partners such as Procter & Gamble(nyse: PG - news - people ), CARE, UNICEF and several other nonprofits, nongovernmental organizations and corporations. These entities created the Global Water Challenge (GWC) last year, which is intended to "deliver clean water and sanitation and hygiene education," according to information on GlobalWaterChallenge.org.Why does a corporate behemoth like Coke care about water in small communities? The company recognizes that taking on the ills of the world also can benefit the bottom line, says Dan Vermeer, Coke's director of global water partnerships. "We want to be seen as a friend and supporter of communities where we operate, and this is a great way to have positive relationships with the local communities," he explains. "As we do that on a broader basis, there's a story that can have a positive impact on the way people think of and value the company.“Last year, Coke, with its more than 800 plants in some 200 countries, started the Community Water Partnership program to encourage Coke bottlers to launch such projects in their own communities. The Water for Schools program in Kenya was the flagship project of the GWC. Currently, the Community Water Partnership is funding 30 similar projects throughout the world, including in South Africa, Egypt, Thailand, Bolivia, Mexico and Florida. "Each one is a story unto itself," Vermeer says. In January 2007, GWC expects to use $500,000 of its funds to expand the Kenya schools program in the hopes of reaching 1,500 schools over the next five years, he adds.Today, the schools run the programs themselves with little outside intervention. Forty-five primary schools participate, and other schools are beginning to ask for training and materials as well. The result? More than 22,000 children have had fewer illnesses, participate more fully in school and have taught safe hygiene and sanitation procedures to their families through the program, says Clarice Odhiambo, who serves as Coke's Africa water partnership manager. "You see smiles and appreciation in the people, and [school principals] tell you this is the best thing that's ever happened to the school," she says.

YvonChouinard (pictured), the founder and CEO of Patagonia, lives and breathes for the environment. In fact, he's openly stated he doesn't care about business growth or advertising. Patagonia's mission according to Chouinard, "to use business to inspire and implement solutions to the environmental crisis."A nonprofit under the guise of selling outdoor clothes, really. Patagonia co-founded 1% For the Planet, an alliance of businesses pledging to commit at least 1 percent of their total sales to environmental causes. Every year since 1985, Patagonia donates either 1 percent of their total sales or 10 percent of their total profits, whichever one is more, to environmental causes determined by customer ballot. To date, Patagonia has donated over $25 million to over 1,000 organizations. But Patagonia goes above and beyond financial giving with their "Enviro Internships" program: Patagonia allows their employees to take time off their jobs and work for the environmental group of their choice, all while still continuing to pay their salaries and benefits while they’re gone.
revolutionary back in that day for becoming one of the first companies to turn its back completely on animal testing and, although she died in 2007, her company is still revolutionary. Aside from recently introducing bottles that are made from 100 percent recycled materials, using exclusively biodegradable foaming ingredients in their products, saying no to animal testing and refusing to use any raw material that is classified as persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic or eco-toxic, The Body Shop also has its own foundation dedicated to supporting human and civil rights. Currently, 100 percent of the profits from the sale of their Soft Hands, Kind Heart Hand Cream are donated to the ECPAT foundation to prevent the sex trafficking of children. To date, The Body Shop has raised $2 million dollars for this cause.
