Become a B Corp - for businesses that want to do good
A B Corp certification is awarded to companies that meet high standards in sustainability, covering areas such as governance, employee issues, customer care, gender equality, community and the environment. The certification confirms companies' commitments in these areas and provides access to a growing worldwide network of purpose-driven companies such as Patagonia and Allbirds.
How to become a B Corp
To become certified, your company needs to go through an extensive assessment and answer a questionnaire with over 300 questions. The questions focus on how your company impacts your stakeholders on issues related to climate, governance, diversity and equality and transparency.
The data is then submitted to B Lab, the international organization behind the certification, where it is reviewed and verified. To achieve the certification, the company needs to demonstrate high scores in all the different sustainability areas.
