What does it mean to be a Best For The World honouree?

Best For The World B Corps are modelling the kind of businesses we need across the world. 

B Corps recertify every three years and once certified, are expected to increase their score over time as they progress towards becoming a more equitable, inclusive and regenerative business. 

Best For The World honourees are proving that competing not only to be the best in the world, but the best for the world, is a winning strategy, and they can lead the way as more businesses continue to join the movement that is transforming the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet.
