I agree strongly with the last point in this comment,- and the post in general. I have a few responses to the first points. I imagine the EA-certification would have many benefits:
certification of successful companies could set an example for other companies to follow, and set a high bar for CSR—not just to dontate x% but to give it to an effective charity.
keeping track of EA-Corps as the movement grows so that they can attract EAs outside the personal networks of the creators
spreading EA values beyond the non-profit industry and tight social networks of current EAs
potentially create a new model for socially-minded businesses to follow (and allow socially-minded investors a new business model which could have better results than the social benefit companies model)
