What are B Corps?

B Corps are a new type of company that uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems.

The B Corp certification is for organizations that want to make money while operating in a responsible way and making positive change in the world.

How do you attain B Corp certification?

The B Corp certification is administered by B Lab, a non-profit organization.

From the B Corp website:

“Certified B Corporations have undertaken the B Impact Assessment, scored over 80, and have signed a term sheet that declares that they will consider all stakeholders. It is a rigorous assessment that explores a company’s governance, transparency, environmental and social impact. B Corps voluntarily hold themselves to a higher level of accountability in these areas.”
