How does third-party verification impact the cost of certification?

 B Lab is reviewing pricing to align with the introduction of the new B Lab Standards and the enhanced third-party assurance model for verifying companies. 

Independent assurance on the new standards will strengthen the process and credibility of B Corp Certification. B Lab is working to minimise the financial impact of price increases, particularly for smaller B Corps.

While the new model will introduce additional costs associated with third party assessments, increased diligence, and an enhanced certification experience, detailed pricing for B Corps is still being developed. 

Certification fees for 2026 will be determined by the B Lab regional or country team where your company is headquartered and confirmed by the end of 2025, if not earlier.
