Imagine a business with purpose and transparency. A business determined to make a positive impact on the environment and communities embedded. That is a B-Corporation.
A B-Corporation, also known as B Corp or Certified B Corporation, is a company that has decided to undergo a verification process through B-Lab (a non-profit) that certifies that the business has committed to its mission, and has willing to exhibit the highest set standards for social and environmental performance.
What is the Purpose of a B-Corporation?
B-Corporations engage and promote adaptation and innovation through positive social and environmental practices. Being a B-Corporation has several benefits internally and externally. Whether you’re a small start-up company or a large, rapidly growing company, you can apply for B-Corporation certification.
