[B Corp](https://www.bcorporation.net/en-us/) is a movement built on the simple fact that business should serve more than just shareholders — it has an equal responsibility to people and the planet. The “B” stands for “Benefit for all.” The movement is supported by [B Lab](https://bcorporation.uk/), a global network creating standards, policies, and tools for business. B Corp certification means a company has passed a rigorous assessment by B Lab, proving that they meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency. B Corps believe: -- That we must be the change we seek in the world. -- That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered. -- That, through their products, practices, and profits, businesses should aspire to do no harm and benefit all. -- To do so requires that we act with the understanding that we are each dependent upon another and thus responsible for each other and future generations. + +* That we must be the change we seek in the world. + +* That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered. + +* That, through their products, practices, and profits, businesses should aspire to do no harm and benefit all. + +* To do so requires that we act with the understanding that we are each dependent upon another and thus responsible for each other and future generations.
