The three main requirements for obtaining B Corp certification are:
- Social & Environmental performance: Achieve 80+ points in the BIA evaluation questionnaire after verification by Standards Analysts, independent of B Lab Switzerland.
- Legal Clauses: (a) Incorporating B Corp Clauses into the company’s bylaws to consider all stakeholders in the company’s mission and decision-making process, and (b) notarial deed & publication in the commercial register.
- B Impact Report: Rating made publicly available online with detailed score by impact area.
In addition to these three requirements, B Lab’s Standards Trust has set specific and supplementary requirements for companies active in so-called “controversial industries”.
