What is a B Corporation?
o B Corp certification is to sustainable business what Fair Trade
certification is to coffee or Green Star Rating is to sustainable buildings.
o B Corps are certified by the nonprofit B Lab to meet rigorous standards of
social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.

Why Become a B Corp?
B Corps want to be part of something bigger than themselves, but for many, becoming a
B Corp also has to make business sense. B Corp Certification helps companies:
Differentiate from Pretenders
Find their tribe
Benchmark performance
Reconnect with their core values
Partner with Peers around the world

Think in silos Think in systems
Resilience through efficiency Resilience through diversity
Business for profit (only) Business for people, purpose (& profit maybe)
CSR, doing ‘less bad’ Net positive & restorative business
Financial accounting & externalities Whole system or ‘true cost’ accounting
