A Certified B Corporation, often referred to as a B Corp, is a type of for-profit corporation that has been certified by the non-profit organization B Lab. B Corps are businesses that meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
To become certified, a company must undergo an assessment process that evaluates its impact on various stakeholders, including workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment. The assessment covers areas such as governance, workers' rights, community engagement, environmental practices, and overall social impact.
Being a Certified B Corporation means that the company has demonstrated a commitment to using business as a force for good, prioritizing not only profit but also considering its impact on people and the planet. It signals to consumers, investors, and other stakeholders that the company operates with a higher level of social and environmental responsibility.
