Certified B Corporation
The B-Corporation certificate, which is issued by an independent organization, is a standard indicator of how well companies meet the requirements for social sustainability, environmental performance and transparency in their operations. This certification, carried out by B-Lab, covers the entire company, i.e. all product groups and areas of concern.
The certification, called Certified B Corporation, then serves as a benchmark for evaluating the company's environmental activities and internal processes. Once a company decides that it wants to become a certified B Corporation, it must first undergo an online assessment. The assessment covers the company's entire operations and maps the positive impact the company has on areas such as governance, employees, community, the environment, as well as the products or services it offers.
For its credibility, the B Corporation certification aims to adhere to the principles of independence, comprehensiveness, comparability, dynamism and transparency.
