Benelux
B Lab develops standards, policies, tools, and programs that shift the behavior, culture, and structure of capitalism. We mobilize the Benelux B Corp community towards collective action.
While being rich in diversity, all the organizations that are part of the B Lab Europe Network are united by the same values and objectives. They have a common vision to reconfigure Europe into a continent of impact-led businesses, where the power of running businesses for the benefit of people and the planet, not just for profit, becomes the default behavior of companies.
In every country, our local teams organize training and events, launch nationwide campaigns and initiatives and support their B Corp community with their needs. Not only do they follow companies in each step of their journey towards the B Corp certification, but they provide tools and programs for every business that wants to be a force for good.
Currently, we have local teams in Benelux, France, Germany, Italy, Nordics, Poland, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland. In each country you’ll be able to find a team of passionate individuals.
