What is a B-Corporation Certified?
In a nutshell, B-Corp Certified are required to consider the impact of their decisions on shareholders and stakeholders equally. In this way, B Corps actively seek to improve standards for company stakeholders including workers, suppliers, community, customers, and the environment.
Additionally, each company hoping to become a B-Corp must score at least 82 points on a rigorous impact assessment proctored by B Labs in order to become certified. Certified B Corporations meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
