The German B Corp movement is aimed at responsible entrepreneurs from every industry: founders and their employees as well as representatives from like-minded organizations, media, science and politics. It is a movement with the aim of establishing a responsible, ecologically sustainable and socially fair economy as the new status quo.
The heart of the B Corp movement is the B Impact assessment. It is a free tool that
businesses use to measure their activities regarding Stakeholders. This is measured
thoroughly in five dimensions.
