There are over 2,500 Certified B Corporations™ from more than 130 industries and 60 countries with 1 unifying goal: to redefine success in business. B Corps™ are leaders of a global movement of people using business as a force for good™. The Certification process uses credible, comprehensive, transparent, and independent standards of social and environmental performance. The B Corp™ assessment process measures a company’s performance in five categories: governance, workers, customers, community, and the environment.
Certified B Corporations™ amend their governance so that, by law, they can make decisions and implement practices that consider not just shareholder value, but the impact on all stakeholders —employees, customers, society, and the environment.
B Corp™ Certification is a highly selective status. Companies must document their positive impact to qualify and undergo verification every three years to maintain their Certification.
