When you spend money, you are signaling support for the companies that made those products and their values.

Where you choose to shop matters now more than ever. The world is facing some of the biggest crises and challenges of our time. Our environment is in rapid decline. Social justice gaps are widening, not closing. By choosing to prioritize profit over people and the planet, most businesses are adding to the problem.

However there is a growing number of businesses that go beyond the harmful status quo; leading a global push for a more inclusive, self-reliant and equitable economy. They are called B Corps.

Want to put your money where your values are? Then read on to learn more about what it means to be a B Corp, how companies are scored and where to spend those hard-earned dollars and shop like it matters.

 

What does B Corp mean?

A B Corp is legally distinct from other corporations in that it is built to produce a public benefit—both for the environment and for society at large. They also must adhere to certain transparency and accountability standards, holding them to their commitment over time.

B Corp literally means ‘Benefit Corporation’.

According to the governing non-profit organization, B Lab, these certified corporations “meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.”

To achieve the status of Certified B Corp, a business needs to take the B Impact Assessment and score above a certain threshold.

 

B Corp Impact Assessment scoring

To become a B Corp, a company must achieve a minimum score of 80. In comparison, they estimate the score of ‘ordinary businesses’ at 50.9.

The five impact areas that these scores are based on are Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers.

Scored out of a possible 200 points, the assessment covers a company’s impact on its workers, vendors, community, and the environment while taking into account best practices around its mission, measurement, and government.

The assessment is rigorous and the highest scores usually top out at 160 or so. Most companies that take the assessment score somewhere between 40 and 100 points and the average score per industry varies widely. 

Even companies that don’t end up scoring high enough to get certified will have an actionable framework for their operations. They can continue to assess their impact and shape policies that will help them next time.

The important thing is that every B Corp has proven that they go above and beyond to be a better business, balancing profit and purpose.
