🌍 B Lab’s updated impact topics As we discussed last week, B Lab has launched its new standards for B Corp certification — setting a higher bar for what it means to be a force for good. 📌 The updated framework introduces 7 non-negotiable impact topics with new requirements, designed to embed purpose, accountability, and meaningful action across companies of all sizes and sectors. Here’s the path your organisation needs to take to align with the updated requirements: 1. Purpose & Stakeholder Governance – Align decisions with a defined purpose and build governance to monitor social and environmental performance. 2. Fair Work – Ensure fair wages, quality jobs, and positive workplace culture. 3. Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (JEDI) – Build diverse, inclusive cultures and support equitable communities. 4. Human Rights – Ensure that employees’ human rights are respected by identifying and addressing risks across operations and value chains. 5. Climate Action – Commit to science-based targets and limit global warming to 1.5°C. 6. Environmental Stewardship & Circularity – Contribute to the circular economy by reducing negative impacts to stay within ecological limits, while actively pursuing positive environmental outcomes. 7. Government Affairs & Collective Action – Use your voice and influence for systemic change and transparency. These standards bring more clarity, rigour, and impact, making it clearer than ever what it means to be a leading, responsible business in today’s world. 🔗 Source: https://bit.ly/4jhcZJM 💡See how we can support you with B Corp certification: https://lnkd.in/e5x8e_WV #BCorp #Sustainability #ImpactBusiness #CorporateResponsibility
