Mainebiz | Business with a purpose: Maine financial firms join growing ‘conscious capitalism’ movement

Once a month in Portland, members of the city’s business community meet to talk about business — and capitalism — as a force for good.

The Portland Conscious Capitalism Community, as the group is known, is part of a growing national movement that puts purpose on a par with profit. It’s grown from a few people last August to about 50 today, representing a wide range of industries and professional backgrounds.
