Consumers are increasingly interested in company transparency and B Corp certification demonstrates this social and environmental credibility through a comprehensive and internationally recognized third-party certification.

Cost Savings

By encouraging continuous efficiency improvements through careful consideration of all business inputs, many B Corps have managed to reduce operational expenses due to inefficiencies in certain areas.

Amplify voice

Adding the BCorp seal to a company amplifies its voice in a crowded marketplace by providing a credible seal that unifies like-minded companies that stand for a better way to do business.

Improve impact

Using the B Impact Assessment is a powerful tool for businesses to set goals for continuous improvement, compare itself to industry peers and to measurably track and improve performance over time.
