How to submit Feedback on the Standards for certification

• How to provide feedback for B Impact Assessment
• How to provide feedback on the Self Assessment 

The current standards for B Corp Certification within the B Impact platform offer a comprehensive set of questions that allow companies to learn, measure, manage, and improve a company's positive impact performance for workers, communities, customers, suppliers, and the environment. If you have a comment or suggestion about the content of an assessment question, the best place to provide this feedback is directly through the platform. While we may not respond to your feedback directly, all feedback is valuable because it informs the further development of the standard and improvements on how to serve B Impact platform users better.  

How to provide feedback for B Impact Assessment

Upon logging into the assessment, navigate to the Measure tab and select B Impact Assessment

Within the B Impact Assessment there is a button called “Question Filter” to select a specific question.

Once you navigate to a specific question in the assessment, click on the question card to open it. This will show a “Feedback” directly below the question title.

When submitting feedback, please provide the following information:

1. A detailed description of the improvement you’d suggest to the question (be as specific as possible).

2. A brief rationale as to why the proposed change would be an improvement for the assessment.

3. A description of what type of company the suggested improvement is relevant to, particularly taking into consideration your company’s size, sector, and geographic market.

4. Any links to resources, such as company best practices or research papers, that provide further context to the suggested improvements.

Once you have finished typing your feedback, press “submit” which will prompt an email confirmation of receipt.

How to provide feedback on the Self Assessment 

Upon signing into the assessment platform, select the Self Assessment on the left hand sided menu. Select a specific Impact Topic and any compliance criterion that relates to your feedback. Once the compliance Criteria Detail card is open, you will see a disclaimer at the bottom left of the card reading “Share your feedback on this criterion”

A prompt will require a selection of the feedback topic, similar to the assessment feedback and provides you any specific detail you want to share about the feedback.

Note that the feedback mechanism is not meant for immediate resolution or conversation but allows our team to make bulk changes as needed. If you would like clarity on a question or to discuss your specific company situation, please use the knowledge base portal to submit an inquiry to your respective regional contact.
