B-Corp Certified
Brands that submitted to the audit
Most sustainability claims are a brand describing itself. B Corp certification is a brand handing its accounts, its supply chain and its employment practices to an outside body and accepting the score it gets.
That is the difference, and it is the whole reason this collection exists separately from the rest.
What Certification Actually Requires
An assessment across governance, workers, community, environment and customers, a minimum verified score, a legal change to the company's articles committing it to consider all stakeholders rather than shareholders alone, and recertification every three years. It is expensive and slow, which is rather the point.
Nearby
Certification is one signal, not the only one. Plenty of excellent brands never apply, usually because of the cost. See Sustainable Brands, Ethical Brands, Small Batch and Giving Back, all under Shop by Purpose.
Worth Knowing
Certification sits with the brand, not with us, and anyone can check a brand's status on B Lab's public directory.
New brands arrive regularly. See New Arrivals or the full Brand Directory.
