“There is an overall trend in blurring the line between corporations focused solely on bottom-line profits and organizations with a dual purpose,” said Katherina Rosqueta, founding executive director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for High Impact Philanthropy. One firm building social mission into its identity from the start, she said, is eyeglass company Warby Parker, which devotes some of its profits to training workers in developing countries to give eye exams and provide eyeglasses at affordable prices.
