B Corp Certification
B Corp, certified by the non-profit network B Lab, represents businesses committed to high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
Founded in 2006, B Lab’s mission is to “inspire and enable people to use business as a force for good,” aiming to balance profit with the well-being of people and the planet.
To achieve B Corp certification, businesses must score 80+ points on the B Impact Assessment (BIA), highlighting areas for improvement. B Lab provides ongoing support through resources, best practices, and community groups.
Hello Earth, an agency focused on sustainability, earned its B Corp certification during a period of rapid growth. Our Impact Model aligns with global goals like Net Zero and the Sustainable Development Goals.
B Corp certification is a milestone that holds businesses accountable and inspires continuous improvement, and is something we embed in all operations of the business, informing:
- the governance of our business;
- how we contribute to our team’s financial, physical, professional and social wellbeing;
- how we support the communities around us; and the customers we work for; and
- how we can improve our environmental stewardship.
The B Impact Assessment doesn’t only provide us with a route to certification, but also a checklist of how we get be a better business for people and planet.
