We’re building the B Corp Movement
Certified B Corporations, or B Corps, are companies verified by B Lab to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. The “B” in “B Corp” stands for “Benefit”, and “Corp” stands for “Corporation,” reflecting the benefit for all people, communities, and our planet.
New standards and tools shaping tomorrow’s economy
B Lab is the non-profit network transforming the global economy to benefit all people, communities and the planet As leader in economic systems change, our global network creates standards, policies, and tools for business. We certify companies — known as B Corps — who are leading the way. By doing so B Lab is shifting the behavior, culture, and structural underpinnings of capitalism. We mobilize the B Corp community towards collective action to address society’s most critical challenges.

B Corp Certification is unique because it measures a company’s entire social and environmental performance.
