B Corp Certification: A Mark of Sustainability and Ethical Business Practices
Being B Corp certified represents one of the highest standards for socially responsible businesses. This certification is awarded by B Lab, a non-profit organisation that assesses companies based on their performance in five key impact areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers. To achieve B Corp status, a company must demonstrate high social and environmental performance by scoring over 80 out of 200 on an impact assessment, exhibit transparency by making their report available on the B Lab website, and incorporate B Lab’s legal requirements to maintain stakeholder governance.
This rigorous certification process requires businesses to meet legal accountability standards, ensuring they balance profit with purpose and consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment. This makes B Corp not just a certification, but a global movement towards an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy.
