Foundation Requirements: Laying the Groundwork for B Corp Certification

Join us for our first session of our new 7-part series to explore B Corp benefits, requirements and process. This first session, “Foundation Requirements” is designed for businesses eager to understand the core principles and practicalities of B Corp certification. And ultimately be able to decide if it’s for them.

Our guest speakers will break down the legal and foundational requirements that define B Corp certification, providing you with a clear roadmap of what is expected. This includes an in-depth look at:

  • Understanding the B Corp Legal Framework:
  • Navigating the B Impact Assessment (BIA) Fundamentals: Get an introduction to the BIA, the primary tool for measuring your company’s social and environmental performance.
  • Setting the Stage for Impact: Learn how to align your business operations with B Corp values from the outset.

By the end of this session, you will have a robust understanding of the initial commitments and changes required for B Corp certification. You’ll gain actionable insights to take your first step toward balancing profit and purpose.
