Simplifying B Corp. amplifying impact.
B Corp certification is not just a corporate milestone. It represents a fundamental mindset shift for any business. At SAGE, we offer specialized B Corp Support based on our own personal journey. Becoming a certified B Corp encouraged us to question how we do business. We improved how we engage stakeholders and hold ourselves accountable to the environment. Our team renewed our certification in 2021 and 2024-25. Each time, we successfully increased our impact score.
That personal experience shapes how we help other organizations. We do not just offer simple checklists and templates. Instead, we take time to understand the heart of your business. Our B Corp Support guides you through the entire certification process. We begin with eligibility checks and detailed readiness assessments. Our team helps align your governance and employee practices with global standards. We also focus on your supply chain and environmental approach.
These steps align your operations with the B Impact Assessment framework. We know where challenges arise and which areas need focused effort. Our expert B Corp Support helps you embed systems that create long-term strength. This journey is not merely about compliance for us. It is about building a business that lives its values daily. We help you move beyond certification to create lasting change. Ultimately, our B Corp Support helps you join the Business as a Force for Good movement. We provide the technical rigor required to build a resilient, purpose-driven brand.
