Every year, B Lab recognizes the top-performing B Corps creating great impact through their businesses. These B Corps are named Best for the World™, as their verified scores in the five impact areas evaluated on the B Impact Assessment - community, customers, environment, governance, and workers - are amongst the global top 5% in their corresponding size group. These businesses are proving that competing not only to be the best in the world, but the best for the world, is a winning strategy, and they can lead the way as more businesses continue to join the movement that is transforming the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet.
Please note, Best for the World 2022 was the final edition of the program, which has now been discontinued. You can find more information here.
