B Lab’s new standards are officially here. These updated standards are designed to help tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges, from climate change to societal inequality. Together, we’re transforming how businesses operate, making meaningful, tangible impacts on people and the planet.
Our new framework raises the bar for businesses striving to lead the way in social and environmental responsibility. The standards focus on seven impact areas:
Purpose & Stakeholder Governance
Climate Action
Human Rights
Fair Work
Environmental Stewardship & Circularity
Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
Government Affairs & Collective Action
With a focus on continuous improvement, all B Corps will now need to meet new minimum requirements across these areas while demonstrating ongoing impact over time. This is a huge step forward for our movement, ensuring we stay relevant and impactful in tackling urgent global issues.
Transitioning to these standards will be a multi-year process, and we’re here to support every step of the way. Explore resources, timelines, and guidance in B Impact and on the B Lab global website, and don’t forget to join our upcoming webinars and Q&A sessions to learn more.
