B Lab Ireland

B Lab Ireland was founded in 2023 to oversee the growth of the B Corp movement in Ireland. We are part of an international nonprofit network that creates economic systems change through standards, policies, tools, and programs, and certifies companies—known as B Corps—who are leading the way.
