Imagine a world where all stakeholders — not just shareholders — are valued and prioritised.
B Lab is the nonprofit network transforming the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet. Building on our standards and certification process, our network leads economic systems change to support our collective vision of an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy.
Our programs and tools help B Corps and non-B Corps plan for a resilient future — including multinationals looking to understand their social and environmental footprint — and our policy work pushes for meaningful legal change around corporate accountability and social impact.
The B Corp Movement: Driving Systems Change
From our beginnings in 2006, we have worked to harness the power of business as a force for good. Now, the B Corp Movement has the credibility to lead like never before. Across societies and sectors, there is momentum for systems change. The B Global Network’s Theory of Change guides our mission to transform the economic system into a more inclusive, equitable, and regenerative global economy.
The Problem
The current economic system, driven by business as one of its key actors, is failing to meet its potential and promise to create positive impact. In fact, it creates significant negative impacts for people, communities, and the planet.
B Lab’s Solution
By working with other movements, coalitions, policymakers, activists, and organisations, and by catalysing our stakeholders — Certified B Corporations,, and businesses adopting B Lab’s standards — we can achieve our vision.
These five global strategies will get us there:
Drive the adoption of our standards to manage the impact of business
Certify and engage businesses to improve their impact
Articulate and amplify stories of business as an equitable force for good
Catalyse policy change to enable business as a force for good
Develop a network of local, regional, and global communities for change
The “Theory of Change”
The Outcome
The role of business is redefined so that all businesses are a force for good — and play a leading role in positively impacting and transforming the global economy toward a more inclusive, equitable, and regenerative system.
