What is a B CorpTM?

A certified B Corp™ company is a for-profit company, which sees business as a means to create a more inclusive and sustainable economy.

B Corp™ are companies that are committed to measuring and considering their environmental and social performance with the same attention traditionally reserved for economic results, and that believe in business as a positive force that is committed to producing value for the biosphere and society.

B Corp™ stands out on the market from all the other realities.

They go beyond the goal of profit and innovate to maximize their positive impact on employees, the communities in which they operate and the environment. In this way, business becomes a regenerative force for society and the planet.

The B Corps envision a future where all companies compete to be not only the best in the world, but the best FOR the world.

What is the B standing for?

B as Benefit for all  

B as Business as positive power

B as generative Business  

The B CorpTM certification is issued by the international certifier B LabTM,the non-profit organization that promotes the change of economic systems, because it believes that a different type of economy that is more equitable, inclusive and regenerative is necessary. Businesses can lead this change.
