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 European 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.

A webinar featuring 5 European B Corps from the Best for the World™ list of 2022 sharing best practices across five impact areas
To meet the 1.5°C target, a swift and consistent conversion of the world's energy systems to renewable energies (RE) is needed. The coalition agreement of the "traffic light" coalition contains many important objectives to put the necessary expansion of renewable energies in Germany on track, especially through wind and solar energy. However, concrete implementation measures must now follow and all societal actors must be involved for this systemic transformation. In this webinar, we present two concrete example models from Ecosia and Patagonia that are driving the energy transition: * Ecosia's model for a "Green (Corporate) Retirement Plan." * Citizen energy as a showcase model for a socially responsible energy transition ("We the Power").
