What is B Corp certification?
The B Corp certification is a third-party accreditation that verifies companies that demonstrate that they are meeting the highest environmental and social performance standards, not only through their product or service, but across all aspects of their operations.
The B Corp movement has seen significant growth in recent years, with the number of B Corps in the UK doubling to 2,000 in the 18 months to May 2024. This shows the appetite from companies to understand, measure and improve the impact they have on their stakeholders.
To become a certified B Corporation, companies must complete the B Impact Assessment (BIA) and reach a target of 80 points. It is a challenging but rewarding process and helps businesses develop a framework to develop best practice across all aspects of their operations.
