BrazilThe 25 consulting firms that help companies become a B Corp
B Lab, the global community behind the B Corps movement, has certified a select group of 25 consulting firms across Europe for their market leading capability to help organisations transform into a true B Corp.
Globally, there are over 3,500 certified B Corporations (B Corps) in over 70 countries. B Corps are companies and organisations that put people, planet and society ahead of – or at least on par with – profit. B Corps that carry the title meet high standards of social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.
Together with government and non-profits, B Corps take a front running role in accelerating the global ambition of building a more inclusive and sustainable economy. They live and breathe the foundational principles of the B Corp movement, and integrate the fundamentals of broader stakeholder impact into their purpose, vision, strategy, and all the way through to operations.
While interest in adopting B Corp principles is huge – doing good for society and the environment is no longer just a hygiene factor, but nowadays also a key differentiator for consumers and investors – many companies struggle with delivering the needed change. That is because building a B Corp culture requires much more than ‘ticking the boxes’, including nurturing a ‘social first culture’ across organisational ranks and embedding all aspects of the SDGs in operations and mindset.
This is where B Lab’s new ‘B Corp Way’ comes in. This community comprises certified B Corp consulting firms that are considered top of the bill when it comes to understanding what a B Corp is, and what is needed to help others follow suit.
“Designed primarily to meet the needs of large and multinational companies seeking to progress their journey of impact improvement, B Corp Way consultants can provide tailored advisory and execution support, grounded in the B Corp methodology,” said Nathan Gilbert, Executive Director at B Lab Europe.
