The mountain towns around Lake Tahoe are home to an outdoor counterculture that could only exist in California.
Born of the region’s contrasts of peaks and lakes, snow and beach, it’s a place full of rebellious, youthful energy a place where the only thing taken as seriously as outdoor performance is having a good time.

We got our start making a simple yet symbolic beacon of the California Mountain Life: the trucker hat.

But we're far more than just a hat. California has always been home to a unique brand of energetic counterculture. A place that still believes that the best athlete on the mountain is the one having the most fun. A place that created its own numerical assessment of radness where international icons drop cliffs naked and where 12-year-old groms call out pros in the lift line. A place where you can climb tall Sierra granite in the morning and crack a beer from the comfort of an inner tube on the Truckee River that afternoon.

We hatched bigtruck® to celebrate this place and the people who give it it’s irreverently adventurous spirit but if we’re honest, this is all so much bigger than the hat, it just has to be... We are bigtruck®.

Impact Area Scoresinfo_outline

info_outlineOverall B Impact Score

To certify as a B Corp, a company must achieve a minimum verified score of 80 points on the B Impact Assessment. The B Impact Assessment asks questions about how the day-to-day operations of a company create positive impact for the company’s workers, community, and environment. Additionally, companies can earn further points if their overall business model can be shown to create positive social and environmental impact as well, qualifying the company for specific Impact Business Model points.

Scores for Certified B Corporations are verified by the non-profit B Lab.

info_outlineImpact Area Scores

The questions in the B Impact Assessment are organized into five Impact Areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers. Click into a Impact Area to see topics covered in each. Topics in blue are Impact Business Models associated with that Impact Area where the company has earned additional credit. Due to rounding, displayed totals may not add up exactly.

The B Impact Assessment is customized to a company's size, sector, and geographic market.  However, within those parameters, there are still questions included in the B Impact Assessment that might not be relevant to a particular company. In cases where a question is not applicable, the potential points available for that question are instead earned based on the performance of the company on the other topics relevant to the stakeholder and summed up as "N/A points." Likewise, a score of N/A for Workers means that the company is a sole proprietor or partnership with no full-time staff, and a score of 0 or N/A for Customers means that the company does not have a specific Customer-focused Impact Business Model.

Each year, B Lab releases lists honoring the top-performing Certified B Corps in each Impact Area and overall, broken down by size, on the annual Best for the World lists.

info_outlineAdditional Documentation

B Lab may determine that a company should make additional material beyond their B Impact Report transparent in order for the public to be able to evaluate the company’s overall impact. This additional transparency may cover participation in a controversial industry, information shared on the company’s Disclosure Questionnaire, or simply a company’s relationship to a larger complex entity. Public companies and wholly-owned subsidiaries are required to make their full B Impact Assessments transparent to achieve B Corp Certification.
