Understanding B Lab: From a structural standpoint, there are two entities that we as Certified B Corps interact with. B Lab Global is the overarching organization that consists of thirteen partners that encompass various geographic regions.
- B Lab Global also sets and administers the Standards for Certification process, ensuring that there is a balance between consistency and culture-specific needs.
- B Lab U.S. & Canada is a member organization of B Lab Global, responsible for fostering a B Corp community of businesses in North America, including best practices, collaboration, and communication.
B Lab’s Theory of Change: Based on racial equity, climate justice, and a stakeholder economy, these three pillars form the essence of B Lab’s mission and the B Lab Theory of Change:
Resources for B Corp Certification and Re-Certification: B Lab U.S. & Canada provides reoccurring virtual sessions!
- Welcome to B Corp: The Value of Certifying
- B Corp Certification: Getting Started
B Consultants: B Lab now has a program to officially acknowledge individuals who complete a specific B Lab program have earned this designation. While others may have the expertise to guide a company through the process, these professionals in their consultants directory are approved by B Lab to do so.
B Corp Brand Logos and Support Materials: Under the stewardship of Vermont’s own Image Relay, here are all the graphics and other campaign assets.
Post or Find a B Corp Job: B Work is only open to Certified B Corps to post jobs, however anyone can use the “Find Jobs” tab.
Resources for Black, Indigenous, and Other People of Color: Given the institutional and structural white supremacy endemic to our culture, additional information can be helpful, and B Labs has BIPOC resources.
We the Change: We the Change is a global network of women-owned B Corps and other aligned organizations.
White Men for Racial Justice: While not exclusive to B Corps (although there are a large number of participants) this peer-led group co-founded by Jay Coen Gilbert, one of the three originators of B Lab, has ongoing conversations about racial justice and our responsibility to take action via WMRJ.
What is a B Corp? B Corps are for profit companies that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. B Corps use the power of business to do more than seek profit. They use their profits and growth to positively impact their stakeholders — and the planet.
