What is B Corp?

B Corp is a global coalition of companies dedicated to achieving long-term systemic change. Instead of profit, the focus should be on the common good and thus form the basis for an inclusive economy. In order to achieve this goal, the company's activity is measured in the five dimensions of:

management,
employees,
community,
environment and
customers

At the same time, the risk of "greenwashing" by B Corp should be reduced. Since the companies are examined from all sides, a company must always act in a future-oriented and sustainable manner. Having a sustainable aspect and spreading it through good marketing is not enough for certification. There are now more than 5,000 certified companies in over 70 countries worldwide from over 150 different industries.

Requirements for B Corp certification

Amendment of the Articles of Association in the Articles of Association
A key requirement for B Corp certification is the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation in the Articles of Association. With this legal requirement, the company undertakes to always act in the interests of the stakeholder groups (shareholders, employees, customers, society, environment).

B Impact Assessment
The next step is to go through the B Impact Assessment, a points system in which a series of multiple-choice questions affecting the stakeholder groups must be answered. This evaluates how high the added value is for society. Transparency is also important in an inclusive economy, which is why all results are published on the B Corp website. In this way, everyone can directly understand in which areas companies are exemplary and in which tasks there is still a need to catch up. Re-certification takes place every three years.

Investments
Companies are expected to invest in the common good and to constantly improve. In order to be able to keep its certification permanently, there must be projects that promote the environment or society. The company no longer makes a profit through profit, but when added value has been created for society.

A certificate with future prospects

The certificate must be renewed every three years so that companies do not rest on their laurels and maintain high standards for themselves. With each new application, the requirements increase so that the company and thus the common good can continue to improve.
