Obtaining B Corp certification—a rewarding move
You’d like to do a “little more” for society, because you know your company isn’t just about making profits? B Corp certification will highlight the human and environmental values that guide your teams in their daily actions.
What is B Corp certification?
B Corp certification was developed by B Lab, an independent non-profit organization based in the United States. Certification requires a rigorous assessment process that measures a company’s global performance based on its governance, its impact on the community and the environment, and the quality of its relationship with its employees. It is a process that takes a holistic measure of a company’s positive impact beyond the profits it generates. It’s also an opportunity for the company to take an introspective look at its entire structure.
Being B Corp certified means fundamentally believing that companies can be a positive force through sound governance and social responsibility.
B Corp is a global movement that reaches:
- 454 400 employees and collaborators
- 85 countries
- 5644 companies
- 158 industries
