The B Corp™ Certification requires companies to meet the highest standards of environmental and social performance. The standards are developed in line with UN Sustainable Development Goals and cover a company’s impact in key areas, including Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers, ensuring an all encompassing analysis of your business.

Increasingly, stakeholders are looking for businesses to take ownership of their impact and call for action. Social and environmental goals are now expected to be embedded in a company’s strategy, no matter the industry or size. Evidence also suggests that companies taking an active stance are gaining support and loyalty from consumers and team members. The B Corp™ certification is the perfect way to demonstrate your public commitment and meet expectations.

As businesses, we always want to improve, and the BIA gives us a framework for continuous improvement. In order to maintain certification, companies must undertake the assessment and verification process every three years, demonstrating they are still meeting B Lab’s standards, which are always improving, with continual input from expert stakeholders.
