A Delaware Certificate of Incorporation for a Public Benefit Corporation is a legal document that is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State in order to create a public benefit corporation. A public benefit corporation is a for-profit corporation whose purpose is to create a positive impact on society and the environment. This type of corporation is required to include a specific public benefit clause in its Certificate of Incorporation and is held to a higher standard of corporate conduct than traditional business corporations. The Delaware Certificate of Incorporation for a Public Benefit Corporation must include the following information: name of the corporation, address, purpose of the corporation, type of corporation, registered agent information, the name and address of each incorporated, name and address of the directors, duration of the corporation, and the public benefit clause. The public benefit clause should include a statement of the corporation's purpose and identify the public benefits it will provide. There are two types of Delaware Certificate of Incorporation for a Public Benefit Corporation: original and amended. An original Certificate of Incorporation is the document used to initially form the corporation. An amended Certificate of Incorporation can be filed to make changes to the existing Certificate of Incorporation.
