FAQ
The B Corp certification process involves an in-depth assessment that scores you on topics such as governance, transparency, environmental practices and more. In order to become B Corp certified, your business must score 80+ points in the B Impact Assessment.
The B Impact Assessment examines a company's impact on its employees, community, environment, and customers, as well as delving into governance and accountability. Questions are categorized between Operations (everyday operations) and Impact Business Models (bonus points for good impact-oriented models).
For-profit companies, active for at least one year within a global partner, country partner, or market builder region, can seek B Corp certification, regardless of size. However, specific considerations and requirements apply to newer businesses, those with related entities, and large multinational or public companies.
The duration of the certification and verification process, from starting the B Corp assessment to announcing certification to the world, depends on the organization's size and complexity. Small to medium-sized businesses usually take 6-8 months. Large worldwide corporations, businesses with several affiliations, and those engaged in problematic industries are expected to have more extensive processes for verification.
When submitting their initial B Corp Assessment for verification, every company pays a non-refundable submission fee. This fee, based on the company's yearly sales, is charged when the first B Corp assessment is submitted, demonstrating the company's commitment to the certification process.
*Note that after April 1st, 2024, B Lab Europe will replace the submission fee with a verification fee that will cover both the submission and verification fees.
