Ethical Certification 📝

Certified B Corporation (B Lab)

• What does B Corp certification mean?
  It verifies a company meets high standards of social & environmental performance, transparency, and accountability across governance, workers, community, environment, and customers.
• Who can be certified and how?
  Any for-profit business. You complete the B Impact Assessment (≥80 points), amend governing docs (where required), submit evidence, and pass verification.
• How often is it reviewed?
  Recertification typically every 3 years; annual impact reporting is encouraged.
• Can I claim “B Corp Pending”?
  Early-stage businesses can use “Pending” after meeting baseline requirements and paying a fee—full certification follows later.
