Certified B Corporations™ are companies verified as meeting rigorous standards for social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability – part of a global movement working to benefit people and the planet, not just shareholders.
The “B” stands for Benefit – for people and the planet, not just shareholders. B Corp Certification pushes companies to embed positive impact into their DNA, verifying real action across governance, workers, communities, and the environment rather than empty promises.
Together, this growing movement is reshaping the rules of business to build a more inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economic system for all.
B Corp Certification is a rigorous, independently-verified standard for social and environmental performance, open to businesses of every size and sector.
It requires companies to meet clear requirements across governance, workers, community, and environment—not just claim good intentions, but prove them.
Today, this global movement counts over 10,000 companies working together for a fairer economy.
Being a B Corp means joining leaders who back their commitment with proof, not promises. Hear directly from entrepreneurs across industries—from watchmaking to real estate—on how certification transformed their teams, their trust, and their business.
“B Corp is much more than a certificate; it is a global community with a shared mindset. The process has shown us that we are already on the right track and has motivated us to integrate sustainability even more holistically into our everyday lives.”
