Recommendation

Ryan Honeyman and Tiffany Jana detail the process of becoming a US Certified B Corp, the benefits and obligations of that status – based on corporate social responsibility – and the values and goals of the B Corp movement. They identify policies and practices in five areas – worker, community, environment, customer impact and company governance – that confer B Corp “certification” points. This handbook provides practical guidance, commentary from B Corp leaders, and specific ideas on how to increase your company’s “diversity, equity and inclusion.”

Take-Aways

  • Any for-profit US business can achieve B Corp certification, which denotes significant efforts in corporate social responsibility.
  • Becoming a B Corp helps a mission-driven business attract employees, build brand awareness and loyalty, and garner support from like-minded companies worldwide.
  • Completing the B Corp Impact Assessment is the first step toward becoming a Certified B Corp.
