Why is March B Corp Month?

‘B Corp Month’ started all the way back in 2016.
The key goal of this month is to spread awareness about all of the fantastic work which B Corps are doing.
Consequently, as visibility grows, there’s the hope that multiple businesses will discover the B Corp movement, and set their ambitions on obtaining B Corp certification too!

A company which is verified by ‘B Lab’ after meeting a strict criteria.
In fact, the B Lap criteria marks against Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers.
As a result, this criteria naturally guides B Corps to focus on social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
B Corp certification can act as a badge of honour. This signals to consumers that this business is striving to do good and improve, for both the environment and their employees- a sure way to boost sales and growth!

The ‘B’ in B Corp stands for ‘Benefit to All’ as B Corps are legally required to benefit all of their stakeholders.
Focus is put onto product packaging to ensure it is recyclable, compostable and reduces plastic.
Transparency is core to the B Corp ethos. Surveys are distributed for honest feedback, and B Corps are required to publicly share supply chain ethics as well as how their B Corp score was determined.
