Hybrid organizations mix profit and non-profit logic and hold the potential to pursue transformative change. This study explores the business strategies that enable hybrid organizations to engage in CSI for transformative impact. Focusing on B Corps, sustainability-oriented hybrids that address profit, people, and planetary issues, we conducted a multiple case study of twenty-one B Corps across Latin America. We describe how B Corps leverage CSI through transactional, iterative, and systemic strategic orientations across six business strategies. Our study provides a three-stage framework for implementing transformational change, offering insights into theory and practice, and addressing the growing demand for businesses to tackle Grand Challenges. Future research directions are also suggested.engCopyright © 2024 Elsevier.
