B Corp certification
Are you a mission-driven company and would like to have your impact verified by an independent party? Or are you still searching for a concrete action plan to make more positive impact with your business? Become a B Corp!
Certified B Corps, or B Corporations, are businesses that are part of the transition towards an inclusive and sustainable economy. B Corps focus their operations not only on profit but also on creating value and impact. The B Corp certification is an international standard and a recognition of your impact as a company.
From a good product or service to a good company
You're probably familiar with the Fairtrade label for coffee or FSC for paper. These labels mainly focus on your product or service. B Corp does it a bit differently and scrutinizes your entire business operations. From governance, personnel policies, and work culture to the sustainability of your operational processes. This holistic approach ensures that you gain a complete understanding of your current state. It provides insights into the areas where you are already doing well and where improvements can be made. The certification process will also provide you with concrete action points on how to enhance and further progress.
The B Corp movement is one of the most important of our lifetime, built on the simple fact that business impacts and serves more than just shareholders - it has an equal responsibility to the community and to the planet.
A purposeful movement
The B Corp movement is rapidly growing worldwide. More and more companies are seeking to enhance and distinguish themselves in terms of social impact or sustainability. Leading the movement are major brands such as Patagonia, Triodos Bank, Tony Chocolonely, and WeTransfer, but small businesses are also joining in. Globally, there are over 8000 B Corps, and in the Benelux, there are nearly 400. Become part of the B Corp community and collaborate with other mission-driven companies to contribute to a better world.
