We are a global movement working to benefit people and the planet
B Lab is the global nonprofit behind Certified B Corporations, a community of businesses that meet verified social, environmental, and governance standards. Together, our movement is working towards a more inclusive, equitable, and fair economic system.
20 Years of the B Corp Movement
Twenty years ago, our founders asked whether business could be measured differently. The answer is now an ecosystem. Whether you were with us from the start, you’re a newly certified B Corp just finding your feet, or a long-time supporter from the sidelines, join us in celebrating our community, and imagining what we can accomplish together next.
