There is a rigorous and time consuming application process for B corp. This process covers all the way from the business practices right down to how the company treats their employees. However, the B Corp label boosts a company’s reputation, is attractive to talent, and gives access to a community of sustainable companies - the certification is arguably worth it.
Key learning objectives:
Identify the three stages in acquiring B Corp status
Explain in detail what each of these stages involve
Highlight what happens after passing all three stages
