# B Lab Switzerland > B Lab Switzerland is a Geneva-based non-profit foundation founded in 2017. We are the Swiss country partner of B Lab Global, building a more inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy through four interconnected pillars: B Corp Certification, the Swiss Triple Impact programme, sustainability education, and collective action initiatives. ## Mission Transform the Swiss economy so that business is a force for good. We help companies of all sizes measure, manage and improve their social and environmental impact, and we mobilise the wider ecosystem (academia, public sector, civil society) toward systemic change. ## Languages This site is fully trilingual — English (default), French (`/fr/`), German (`/de/`).
