How does a company get certified?

B Corp™ certification covers five areas and assesses the company against high social and environmental standards. The holistic certification process is considered demanding. To obtain B Corp™ certification, a company must undergo the ‘B Impact Assessment’ and achieve at least 80 out of a possible 200 points. During the assessment, the company is evaluated in the following five areas of impact:

Corporate governance: How transparently and responsibly is the company managed?

Employees: How does the company treat its employees? Are inclusive values embedded in day-to-day business?

Environment: How does the company minimise its environmental impact?

Customers:How does the company treat its customers and create added value for them?

Society: What is the company's social commitment and how does it contribute to the community?
