B Corp Certification
What is a B Corp?
B Corps commit to positively impact all stakeholders
Certified B Corporations, or B Corps, envision a better economic system where businesses can benefit people, communities, and the planet. They choose long-term investments over quick wins, and measure their success based on the positive impact they create.
B Corps are companies that:
-
Have verified social & environmental performance
B Corps complete the B Impact Assessment, achieve a verified score of 80 points or more, and pass the disclosure questionnaire review.
-
Mission-lock their company
B Corps legally commit to considering the impact of their decisions on all stakeholders – a model known as stakeholder governance.
-
Embrace transparency
B Corps publish their company profile on our B Corp Directory, transparently showcasing their performance measured against our standards.
The B Impact Assessment (BIA)
The B Impact Assessment (BIA) is a free and confidential online tool to help you measure and manage your company’s impact on its governance, workers, communities, environment and customers. To obtain B Corporation Certification, a company first needs to complete the B Impact Assessment. Companies that earn a minimum score of 80 out of 200 points undergo an assessment review process, verifying the claims made in their assessment.
