B Corp Preparation
B Corp has changed: find out whether you meet B Lab's new standards (V2) — assessed across 8 readiness topics, before submitting on the B Impact platform.
The problem it solves
In April 2025, B Lab released the new standards (V2): the 80-point model that let you offset weakness in one area with strength in another is gone. Now there are universal Foundation Requirements and mandatory topics.
The readiness assessment translates the new standards, shows the real size of the gap by topic, and organizes the evidence B Lab will ask for — before you submit on the B Impact platform.
What it assesses
What the assessment evaluates
Each dimension is assessed in depth — no critical area is left out.
Foundation Requirements
Eligibility, screening of incompatible industries, the Risk Tool, and the legal stakeholder-governance requirement — the longest-lead bottleneck of the certification.
Purpose & Stakeholder Governance
An operating formal purpose, an impact lead at the top of management, approved targets, and closed-loop stakeholder listening.
Fair Work
Formalization, working hours, health and safety, a grievance channel, and the living wage: regional benchmark, gap analysis, and compliance plan.
Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
A communicated and trained anti-discrimination policy, bias-reduced hiring, a demographic census compliant with the LGPD, and accessibility with reasonable accommodations.
Human Rights
A commitment anchored in the UN Principles, risk mapping across operations and suppliers, mitigation actions, and a whistleblowing channel.
Climate Action
A Scope 1 and 2 emissions inventory with 12 months of real data and a climate plan aligned to 1.5 °C, with prioritized actions and an owner.
Environmental Stewardship & Circularity
Monitoring of consumption, proven waste disposal, environmental obligations up to date, and at least one circularity practice in operation.
Government Affairs & Collective Action
A communicated anti-corruption policy, transparency about public positions, tax compliance, and the collective action that defines the B movement.
Calibrated, not generic
Provenance and calibration
The analysis carries the reasoning of the reference frameworks — that’s what separates a calibrated assessment from generic advice.
