What does it mean to be Certified B Corporation?

B Corp Certification is a designation that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials. In order to achieve certification, a company must:

  • Demonstrate high social and environmental performance by achieving a B Impact Assessment score of 80 or above and passing our risk review. Multinational corporations must also meet baseline requirement standards.

  • 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 Corp Certification is holistic, not exclusively focused on a single social or environmental issue.

Everything you need to know about the B Corp Movement

There are currently over 4000 Certified B Corporations in more than 70 countries and over 150 industries.

Transforming the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet.

Certified B Corporations are leaders in the global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. Unlike other certifications for businesses, B Lab is unique in our ability to measure a company’s entire social and environmental impact.

To become certified, businesses must first meet the performance requirement by completing the B Impact Assessment, which assesses the overall impact of a company on its workers, suppliers, community, and the environment. The company must earn a reviewed minimum score of 80 out of 200 points and then sign the Term Sheet and B Corp Declaration of Interdependence.
