Why Become a B Corp?

Current events present a unique opportunity for us collectively to redefine success in business. Our message of using the power of business to solve social and environmental problems has never been more resonant.

 

Over 450 leading businesses have joined the community of Certified B Corporations, wanting to influence the market beyond the scope of their individual businesses. These entrepreneurs are striving to be, not just the best in the world, but the best for the world. We hope you will join us.

 

How do I Become a B Corp?

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.
