B Corporation

Certifies entire companies on social, environmental and governance performance.

What it is

B Corp Certification, issued by the non-profit B Lab, evaluates a whole company (not a product) on five impact areas: governance, workers, community, environment and customers. A company must score at least 80 out of 200 on the B Impact Assessment and amend its legal governance to consider all stakeholders.

How it's verified

Companies complete the 200+ question B Impact Assessment, submit supporting documentation, and undergo verification calls and randomised on-site audits. Recertification is required every three years against an updated standard.

What to look for

The B Corp checkmark logo on packaging or the company website. Verify the live status at bcorporation.net — certification expires every three years.

Watch out for

B Corp covers the parent company, so a B Corp-owned brand may not itself be certified. Acquisitions by non-B Corp conglomerates have historically triggered loss of certification.

What it doesn't cover

B Corp is a company-level certification — individual products may not carry product-specific certifications (organic, fair trade, vegan). Some B Corps still produce environmentally significant products; the certification rewards relative improvement and policy, not zero impact.

Frequently asked

The median qualifying score is 80/200 — comfortably below 50%. Most companies need 6–18 months of operational changes to qualify. Recertification often forces deeper improvements as the standard tightens.
