The B Corporation

A B Corporation, or B Corp, is a type of business that meets high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. Unlike traditional corporations, which primarily aim to maximize profits for shareholders, B Corps consider the impact of their decisions on workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment. They are certified by the nonprofit B Lab after meeting rigorous standards and must continue to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. This certification helps consumers identify businesses that prioritize positive societal impact alongside financial success.
