What is a B Corp certified company?
We hear more and more about it, but what exactly is B Corp?
Born in the United States in 2006, the B Corp certification is awarded to for-profit companies that meet social, environmental, transparency and governance criteria. The acronym B Corp stands for Benefit Corporation, so companies that join the B Corp label want to be not just the best in the world, but the best for the world.
Certification is awarded by the NGO B Lab if the company that applied for it obtains a score above 80/200.
During the assessment, which is renewed every three years, the company carries out a relatively exhaustive inventory of its non-financial performance.
Beyond the certification process, B Corp is a strong national and international movement.
