The Foundation Requirements is a tool that assesses the business across four key aspects related to business risk: employees, productions, operations and reputation. The Risk Profile is an aspect of Foundation Requirements that must be complete for any company opted into certification. Once you have submitted your setup experience, you will see the Foundation Requirements on your home page. Select "Get started" on the Foundation Requirements card.

Like other parts of the setup experience, you can complete it overtime, rather than in one moment. Please save your progress as you do so and track your progress on the right side of the page.

Completing the Risk profile

Once all questions are completed, the status card on the right will track the team member and date completed.

A status card will indicate any updates to the assessment made for your company, based on the risk assessment. If there were no changed made, this card will not show up on the page.

There will be up to two cards:
The top card will be the list of identified risk flags.
The following card will be a list of identified safe zones.

You are able to edit your responses in the Risk Profile easily at any time before assurance begins. If you have submitted your setup application, any changes to the responses can result in changes to the applicable sub-requirements, but please update them if the responses to the Risk Profile have changed.

Please note the view of the Requirements under Self Assessment tab will not correspond to the responses to the Risk Tool or the other Foundation Requirements. It is critical to make sure all the Foundation Requirements are addressed to ensure that B Lab has all the information regarding your eligibility.

These can be found by navigating to the Home page and selected Risk Profile. From the Risk Profile on the top page by the ‘home’ icon, you can select the Foundation Requirements to see all of the Eligibility, Legal Requirements and Risk Profile view. This is the example in the second screenshot above.
