Organisations that lead with purpose are changing the nature of business today. Not every company is trying to solve global problems - but every business can apply the principle of ‘designing for humanity’.

B Corp certification demonstrates that a business values society and the environment - striving not only for profits, but are also committed to being a force for good in the world. This can also be a savvy business choice, helping to outpace competitors by attracting customers, investors, staff - and ultimately boosting performance and growth.
