PARTNERSHIP
B Corporations are over 2600 responsible businesses that are certified to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental impact, accountability and transparency. Together B Corps seek to transform the economy to a more inclusive and circular B Economy - an economy that benefits all not just few.

To become certified companies must receive a minimum verified score on the B Impact assessment, a free online tool to measure and manage impact on customers, community, workers and the environment. In addition, they must make their B Impact report transparent on bcorporation.net.
As people are becoming more aware of global issues of the environmental crises and inequality the demand for more transparent, responsible and purposeful business practices is growing stronger from both consumers and employees. It is becoming clear business cannot survive in its current form. Now is the time to take the lead in addressing these issues and work towards building long term prosperity that benefits all stakeholders. The certification is a third-party validation of transparency and accountability and a proof that you practice what you preach- building trust and new opportunities for growth.


Attend the summit to learn how the certification can help your company.
