Business needs comprehensive, credible, comparable impact standards to support economic systems change.
Used by more than 150,000 businesses, the B Impact Assessment is a digital tool that can help measure, manage, and improve positive impact performance for environment, communities, customers, suppliers, employees, and shareholders; receiving a minimum verified score of 80 points on the assessment is also the first step towards B Corp Certification.
Here's how it works:
01
Assess your impact
Complete theB Impact Assessmentby answering a series of questions about your company's practices and outputs across five categories: governance, workers, community, the environment, and customers.
Sample questions:
Governance:What portion of your management is evaluated in writing on their performance with regard to corporate, social, and environmental targets?
Workers:What % of the company is owned by full-time workers (excluding founders/executives)?
Community:What % of management is from underrepresented populations? (This includes women, minority/previously excluded populations, people with disabilities, and/or people living in low-income communities.)
Environment:Does your company monitor and record its universal waste production?
Customers:How do you verify that your product improves the impact of your client organizations?

03
