You are part of a global movement for change

The B Corp community sits at the heart of our global movement. B Corps are proof that embedding purpose into business is not only feasible, but good for growth and resilience. 

With values rooted in B Lab’s Declaration of Interdependence, B Corps are working together to reinvent the role of business in society. 

No B Corp is perfect, which is why we create space, and encourage our community to collaborate, learn from each other and continuously improve, together.

Share your B Corp status with confidence

Being a B Corp is a powerful signal to your stakeholders that you’re doing business differently. By sharing your status, you also act as a catalyst for change—inspiring others to join the movement. The B Corp Brand Book provides you with guidelines and assets to communicate this clearly and drive our collective vision of economic systems change.

Lead with transparency

We encourage all B Corps to produce an impact report each financial year to maintain accountability and demonstrate continuous improvement. For larger B Corps, publishing the impact report is a mandatory part of maintaining certification.

There are general tips on B Corp Brand Book and plenty of resources on the B Hive that provide insights for creating an impact report. You can also download our dedicated guide below for detailed structure and storytelling.

New B Lab Standards (V2)

B Lab Global has launched a new set of B Lab Standards (V2), reshaping what good business looks like for the future. The latest standard provides greater clarity and consistency, ensuring companies focus on the most impactful business actions. Existing B Corps can now submit for recertification on the new B Lab Standards.

B Lab's New Standards are here

A journey of continuous progress

B Corp Certification is a journey of continuous progress and improvement. To ensure our collective impact keeps pace with the world's challenges, every B Corp will transition to the B Lab Standards (V2) on their next recertification cycle.

Under the B Lab standards (V2), maintaining certification becomes a phased journey. Companies will have to progressively adopt and comply with Year 0, Year 3, and Year 5 sub-requirements, ensuring your impact evolves alongside the ever-changing economic system.

Looking to recertify?

As a first critical step, you must complete the updated Assessment Setup on B Impact, then complete the Foundation Requirements, including the newly available Risk Profile, before continuing your journey through the Self-Assessment. This ensures the requirements you see later in Self-Assessment are tailored to your company’s context.

Find your local community

B Locals provide the space to connect right where you are. These are place-based communities of businesses working to benefit people and the planet.

More recently, B Locals have become increasingly proactive in engaging wider stakeholders, such as getting involved in local economic strategy development and working with voluntary organisations, social enterprises, local government, as well as policy makers in the region.
