B Lab is transforming the global economy to benefit all people and the planet. Across Europe and the globe, B Lab’s international network creates standards, policies, tools, and programs for business to shift the behavior, culture, and structure of capitalism. We certify companies—known as B Corps—who are leading the way in addressing society’s most critical challenges.
People want to work for, buy from, and invest in businesses they believe in. Certified B Corporations, or B Corps, are companies verified by B Lab to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. Use our map to explore the growing community of companies using business as a force for good.
As our community grows, so does the urgency to collaborate with other across industries and borders to achieve our vision. By mobilizing businesses and working with other movements, coalitions, policymakers, activists, and organizations, we can change our economic system to positively impact all stakeholders — workers, communities, customers, and our planet.
