B Corp certification is a third-party non-governmental certification that rates companies' social and environmental performance, demonstrating that an organisation meets high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency.

The B Corp certification process encourages businesses to create products and services that benefit workers, communities, and the environment. 

The B Corp movement began in 2006 when Paul Hawken founded B Lab with the goal of creating an alternative to the traditional corporate structure that emphasised positive impacts for people and the planet over profits.

The benefits of B Corp Certification are:

• Support your company’s transition to a more sustainable business model.
• Attract and retain talent, as studies show workers look for jobs in sustainable companies.
• Reach new markets where sustainability performance is an entry pre-requisite.
• Increased visibility in the marketplace due to the third-party seal of approval on your website and other marketing materials.
• Improved brand awareness and market positioning as a responsible business.
• A competitive advantage against your competitors who are not certified.
