How do I opt into B Corp Certification

The Certification setup experience will take you through a personalized questionnaire to check your company's eligibility for B Corp Certification and understand the scope of your company's operations. By getting to know more about your company, we'll be able to tailor your assessment to your company's size, industry, and location.

Once you have completed all sections, you will receive your company's assessment and can start measuring your company's impact.

There are two experiences for users on B Impact – B Corp certification for companies interested in pursuing certification, and Impact Measurement for companies that want to use the assessment as a free tool to measure their impact, but are not interested in, or eligible for certification. 

How do I opt into B Corp Certification during the setup? 

After you create an account and register your name and email, you will see  the Building the B Corp movement page where you can learn more about the movement and the B Corp certification process. After reading about the B Corp movement, you will arrive at the Certification Interest page.

If you want to pursue B Corp certification, select “Yes, we want to certify.” If you are not interested in certification at this time, select the option: “Nope, we aren’t interested at this time.” 

If you change your mind about certification interest and want to pursue certification after selecting “No” on the Certification Interest page,, there is still a way to opt into certification later in the process. 

Start with navigating to the Certify tab on the left side menu of your view.  Click “Get started” on the card Ready to start your certification journey. This will bring you to the Certification setup page where you can start filling out each section to determine your company’s eligibility for certification. 

Select Preparation and confirm all the requirements as part of the section. Click “Complete section”. The next section Eligibility: Ownership type will open upon this update.This will start the certification process and you can navigate through each section to review your preliminary eligibility for certification. 

If you have not opted into the B Corp certification process, all sections of the Certify tab will indicate a “View only” for sections required for certification. You can still opt into the experience by starting with section 1: Gather company documents.
