Supporting your Certification Journey

FAQ

  • B Corp Certification is a global Certification awarded to for-profit companies that balance their financial performance with purposeful impact.
    The B Corp standards are an evolving reflection of what good business looks like across 5 key stakeholder groups:

    B Corps are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment.

  • On the current global standards, companies must score a minimum of 80 out of 200 points on the B Impact Assessment™, which evaluates their impact on various stakeholders.

    The process then involves a rigorous ‘Verification’ assessment administered by B Lab™ , the non-profit organisation behind the B Corp movement.

    Companies must go through a verification cycle every 3 years to maintain their B Corp status, with annual certification fees payable in the interim.

    During the coming months, we expect new standards to be implemented that will expand and deepen the requirements for Certification.

  • The median score for ordinary businesses that attempt the B Impact Assessment is 50.9 which is far below the required threshold of 80 points to become a B Corp. 

    B Leaders are expertly trained to help you navigate the certification, starting with your assessment, identifying areas of opportunity and improvement to get you ready for submission, and as a guide through the verification process. 

    B Leaders also have direct access to B Lab to help troubleshoot issues and conduct internal reviews to smooth the process.
