B Corp is the abbreviation for “Benefit Corporation”.
Created in 2006, B Corp certification is awarded by B Lab*, a non-profit organization, to businesses committed to the common interest and having an economic model that includes social, societal and environmental goals. It’s the only certification that takes into account all company aspects.
B Corp evaluation, which is based on an assessment of business impact (or “BIA”), is graded on a 200-point scale. Eighty points are necessary to obtain certification.
“Certified B Corporation” is a trademark licensed by B Lab, a private non-profit organization, to companies like ours that have successfully completed the B Impact Assessment (“BIA”) and therefore meet the requirements set by B Lab for social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
It is specified that B Lab is not a conformity assessment body as defined by Regulation (EU) No 765/2008, nor is it a national, European, or international standardization body as per Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012. The criteria of the BIA are distinct and independent from the harmonized standards resulting from ISO norms or other standardization bodies, and they are not ratified by national or European public institutions.
