How to get started for getting a B Corp Certification?

The process starts with a B Corp Impact assessment, which is a rigorous assessment in five areas.

•  Governance
•  Workers
•  Community
•  Environment
•  Customers

The response of the organization on these questions determines the gap between the minimum score required for certification and the score the organization has. SAGE Sustainability team helps in assessing the baseline.

SAGE Sustainability team helps in bridging the gap by advising on how best the changes can be made in the organizational context, sharing best practices etc.

SAGE Sustainability team also helps in keeping the documentation organized for scrutiny by B Labs.

Once the fee is paid (which is different for differently sized organizations, however there are no geographic variations). B Lab gets in touch to fix a meeting time where further clarifications are made. Documents that are required are submitted. Sometimes, B Lab may verify the processes and documentation through a visit. Once B Lab is satisfied the organization gets certified. There are further documents and agreements and after those formalities, one can use the B Corp Logo and avail of other benefits mentioned for becoming a B Corp organization.

SAGE Sustainability is a Certified B Corp, focused on consulting, advisory and communications solely focussed on Sustainability and Gender. SAGE Sustainability would like to see Sustainability at the core of every business.
