B The Change
Perhaps you’ve noticed that some of your favorite products are sporting a new logo and you’re wondering what it means to be B-Corp Certified? Here’s the scoop:
B Corp is a global movement of people using the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. You might say that a B Corps certification is to sustainable business what LEED certification is to green building. To earn a B Corps certification, companies must pass a rigorous review by the non-profit B Lab, which verifies that a company is meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. Over 1,600 companies in 47 countries have been certified thus far, with one unifying goal: to redefine success in business. Because transparency is a valued component of this program, all company ratings and impact reports can be found on the B Corp web page
