Recognizing the pressures businesses face today, the new B Lab standards highlight how data and methodologies from other certification schemes, sustainability-related frameworks and disclosure reporting, including ESRS, GRI and CDP, are aligned and contribute to meeting our standards.
This article provides a consolidated overview of the interoperability between V2.1 of the B Lab Standards and other global sustainability reporting standards and frameworks.
The current version of this table focuses on standards that have been officially mapped under the interoperability section of the new B Lab Standards. We recognize that the landscape of sustainability legislation is rapidly evolving, particularly in the European Union with the ongoing revisions impacted by the Omnibus Package. For this reason, interoperability with key upcoming regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) is based on the directives pre-Omnibus and will be updated in the future. For the full interoperability mapping and the details of the requirements see the new B Lab Standards as a reference.
Our goal is to create a dynamic resource that will eventually include a wider range of standards and regulations ensuring that the B Lab Standards remain relevant and easy to integrate into a company’s existing compliance and reporting efforts.
In the spreadsheet, you will find how each subrequirement of the V2.1 B Lab Standards is mapped to the following standards, frameworks and legislation:
European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS / CSRD)
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS / ISSB)
Please see the attached spreadsheet to the Interoperability Mapping file.
