About B Corp
B Corp Certification signifies that a business meets rigorous standards in verified performance, accountability, and transparency across various aspects, including employee benefits, charitable giving, supply chain practices, and input materials. To attain this certification, a company must:
Demonstrate high social and environmental performance by achieving a score of 80 or higher on the B Impact Assessment and passing B Corp.
Make a legal commitment by changing their corporate governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders, not just shareholders, and achieve benefit corporation status if available in their jurisdiction.
Exhibit transparency by allowing information about their performance measured against B Lab’s standards to be publicly available on their B Corp profile on B Lab’s website.
B Corps, as leaders in the movement for economic systems change, enjoy significant benefits.
They cultivate trust with consumers, communities, and suppliers; attract and retain employees; and appeal to mission-aligned investors. The requirement for recertification every three years ensures that B Corps remain focused on continuous improvement, enhancing their long-term resilience.
B Corp Certification takes a holistic approach, addressing various social and environmental issues rather than focusing exclusively on one.
The certification process is demanding, involving the engagement of teams and departments across the company. Depending on the company’s size and profile, verification includes documenting the business model, information about operations, structure, work processes, as well as a review of potential public complaints and possible site visits.
