A B Corporation (also referred to as a “B Corp”) is a private certification offered by B Lab to for-profit companies that demonstrate high environmental and social performance while employing a governance structure that includes all stakeholders, not just shareholders.
B Corporations aspire to transform the global economy to benefit all people, communities and the planet. All performance is reported publicly on B Lab profiles.
Since a B Corp is a certification and not a legal business entity, it helps to refer to them as certified B Corporations or certified B Corps.
