B Corp is not just a certification, it’s an ongoing framework for ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) and a movement for change. Although becoming a B Corp is a great success in itself, the certification should be viewed as the start of any company’s sustainable development journey. Certified B Corp companies have a continuous improvement approach, looking for ways to create a positive impact through their expertise and know-how in their sector. This may mean providing support to your suppliers on their own B Corp journeys or encouraging others in your community to use BIA as a tool for improvement. It may mean finding ways for your company to give back to society, opening up access to your products/services to people who cannot afford them, donating time and/or money to a cause that inspires you, creating communication opportunities in order to share your knowledge, etc. B Lab and those at the origin of the B Corp movement are constantly considering how to go beyond B Corp in order to change economic models on a larger scale.  B Lab’s mission is to modify the legal framework within which companies operate today. As there has not yet been any guarantor at public level in Belgium, B Lab invites companies that want to join the B Corp movement to amend their articles of association to include, in addition to the objective of serving the interests of shareholders, that of taking all stakeholders (workers, customers, communities and the environment) into account. This amending of the articles of association, more symbolic than binding, is a very powerful message. We have made the legal modifications to be made to your articles of association available at.
