B Corp Certification

What is B Corp Certification?

This globally respected certification is earned by companies that achieve the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. Being a B Corp means we are committed to using our business as a force for good, balancing profit with purpose to benefit our customers, communities, and the planet.

B Corp certification is a holistic marker of positive impact and high standards across the board in the areas of social and environmental responsibility.

To become a B Corp, a company must complete an assessment created by B Lab, known as the B Impact Assessment (“BIA”), and have its results verified by B Lab. The BIA evaluates a company's performance across various categories, including governance, workers, community, environment, and customers. B Lab’s goal through the BIA (and its broader verification process) is to measure a company's overall social and environmental impact according to criteria specifically developed by B Lab. The assessment and verification process typically takes at least 12 months and B Corps are required to repeat the process every three years.

Only upon successfully obtaining at least 80 points in the BIA may a company use the trademark identifying it as a B Corp. The “Certified B Corporation” trademark is exclusively licensed to companies that have successfully completed the BIA assessment and verification process. B Lab and its affiliates are the sole entities responsible for licensing the “Certified B Corporation” trademark.

What does the B in B Corp mean?

The 'B' in B Corp stands for 'Benefit.' Certified B Corporations (or B Corps) are businesses certified by B Lab to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. This means they are committed to benefiting all stakeholders, including workers, customers, suppliers, the community, and the environment, rather than solely focusing on profit.
