What drives consumers decisions these days? It’s how a company treats its people, its impact on the planet, and whether it walks the talk. Our Brand Awareness Study 2024 shows that consumers and jobseekers are paying close attention to how businesses govern and operate. From stakeholder accountability to sustainability and certifications like B Corp, values-driven business is becoming the expectation—not the exception. And awareness makes a difference. Those familiar with B Corp are even more likely to factor sustainability and certification into their choices. At B Lab, we believe this shift isn’t just a trend—it’s a transformation. We're supporting businesses to lead with purpose, embed stakeholder governance, and build a more inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. 📣 Let’s keep raising the bar for what business can—and should—be.

And that’s a wrap on B Corp Month 2025! Throughout March, our European B Corp community came together to celebrate what it means to be a B Corp — showing the power of businesses working for people and the planet. From powerful gatherings like Génération B Corp in France to bold conversations in Dublin at “Bí ag Caint,” the energy was unstoppable. In Poland, B Corps united to publish their first Collective Impact Report, while in Greece, the 1st B Corp Summit sparked cross-sector collaboration and momentum. B Lab Italy participated in Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna, the leading international trade fair for the beauty industry together with members of B Corp Beauty Coalition, and across the region, teams rolled up their sleeves for local volunteering and meaningful connection. This month was a celebration of progress, possibility, and the growing movement of businesses redefining success.
