What is a B Corporation?

B Corporation is the certification that an organization uses business as a force for good. B Corps are required to meet rigorous social and environmental, transparency, and accountability performance standards. When we started the certification process, we were already operating with many of B Lab’s standards, but there were areas where we changed how we were doing business.  

 

Becoming a B Corp calls on us to be more transparent. You can see additional detail on our new Impact page on our website. And B Lab shares our B Impact Assessment results publicly on their site. B Lab’s B Impact Assessment helps businesses measure their impact on the world and rewards them for doing well for society and the environment. The assessment is a tool that measures impact performance for the environment, communities, customers, suppliers, employees, and shareholders. B Lab provides feedback on where an organization is outperforming and where there is an opportunity for improvement.  

Notable areas where we are outperforming country benchmarks are:

Employee

  • Financial Security
  • Health, Wellness, and Safety
  • Career Development
  • Engagement and Satisfaction

Community

  • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
  • Civic Engagement

Why did we pursue b corp certification?

We believe that being a good business means more than just profit and serving our customers well. We want to be good community members, an excellent employer, responsible corporate citizens, and stewards of the planet. B Corp Certification is an objective way for people to know that we are committed to doing business in ways that benefit all stakeholders. 

 

As we celebrate this milestone, we’d like to share the B Corp Declaration of Interdependence below that we signed on July 1, which was a powerful moment. We feel like this encapsulates our aspirations as an organization.  

As Certified B Corporations and leaders of this emerging economy, we believe:

  • That we must be the change, we seek in the world.
  • That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered.
  • That, through their products, practices, and profits, businesses should aspire to do no harm and benefit all.
  • To do so requires that we act with the understanding that we are each dependent upon another and thus responsible for each other and future generations.

Bringing b corp to life
