Many studies have been done on this now and?data from recent years?shows that, overall, B Corps see higher revenue growth than their non-B Corp ‘business as usual’ peers. To find out more, read our blog.
B Corp Evolving Standards.
The?B Corp standards?are at the core of everything we do as B Corps and just like the world around us,?they must evolve as we do, and as business does.

These changes are not just about maintaining a certification; they’re about?transforming an economy?that is no longer working — for people, for communities and for the planet.
