Preparing for the new standards: How B Lab is transforming to meet the moment

B Lab’s standards are undergoing its most significant transformation in B Lab’s 18 year history, marking a moment of profound transformation for the movement. At the heart of this change is a commitment to addressing the most critical social and environmental challenges facing businesses today. But this work goes beyond creating new standards — it includes the development of innovative, intuitive tools and platforms, and new verification processes that will streamline the certification journey and help companies measure their impact more effectively.

With a focus on peer-to-peer learning, verification efficiency, and alignment with global regulations like the EU Directives, B Lab is laying the groundwork for B Corps to lead the future of business. The goal is clear: to support companies in understanding, adopting, and thriving under the new standards, all while fostering a culture of continuous improvement and collective impact.
