A world of B-corps?

Unfortunately, just like with non-profits, these designations just end up being gamed.

You can't rule out evil because evil thwarts rules. Sometimes evil even makes rules to rule out good. It's a nice thought though.

Just remember, good needs to thwart rules too. Freedom is fought with blood, sweat, and tears. Evil creates rules, even those who mean well create rules that perpetuate evil. "Forgive them for they know not what they do." :-)
