B Corp Certification Overview

To become certified, B Corporations do three things

1. Earn a minimum score of 80 (out of 200 available points) on the B Impact Assessment. This sets a benchmark for social and environmental impact for good companies. A B Lab staff member reviews each assessment and is always available for help.

2. Adopt the B Corporation Legal Framework to bake the mission of the company into its legal DNA. This allows the company's values to thrive under new management, new investors, and new ownership.

3. Sign a Term Sheet and Declaration of Interdependence to make the certification official.

Once certified, 20% of B Corporations are randomly selected for an on-site review during every two-year term.
