B Corporations
B Corporations, or Benefit Corporations, are a type of business that aims to balance profit with social and environmental responsibility. They are certified by the non-profit organization B Lab to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. This certification helps consumers identify companies that prioritize positive impact alongside financial success.
To become a B Corporation, a business must complete an assessment that evaluates its practices and policies. This includes how it treats employees, its impact on the community, and its environmental footprint. By achieving this certification, companies demonstrate their commitment to using business as a force for good.
