WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

THE B CORPORATION CERTIFICATION

Certified B Corporations are leaders in the global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. It is a designation that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency.

Unlike other certifications for businesses, it is unique in its ability to measure a company’s entire social and environmental impact.

As of February 2024, there are 8,254 certified B Corporations across 162 industries in 96 countries. And we are in good company! Some of the companies in our circle are Patagonia, BodyShop, Ben & Jerrys, Coursera, Tony's Chokolonely, Moodle, and Kickstarter.

THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES
B CORP DECLARATION OF INTERDEPENDENCE

"We envision a global economy that uses business as a force for good. This economy is comprised of a new type of corporation – the B Corporation – which is purpose-driven and creates benefit for all stakeholders, not just shareholders. 

As Certified B Corporations and leaders of this emerging economy, we believe:

• That we must be the change we seek in the world.

• That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered.

• That, through their products, practices, and profits, businesses should aspire to do no harm and benefit all.

• To do so requires that we act with the understanding that we are each dependent upon another and thus responsible for each other and future generations."
