How to Find Certified B Corps or Get Involved with the B Corp Movement
Updated
bcorporation.net is the home of B Lab, the global nonprofit behind Certified B Corporations. The site serves two main purposes: it lets you search for companies that have already earned B Corp certification, and it explains how businesses and supporters can join the movement. If you want to find a certified company, use the "Find Certified B Corps" entry point. If you want to get involved, the path depends on whether you represent a business seeking certification or an individual who wants to support the movement.
Finding Certified B Corporations
The site provides a direct way to locate businesses that meet B Lab's verified social, environmental, and governance standards.
- Look for the "Find Certified B Corps" link on the homepage. This is the primary navigation entry for searching the certified community.
- The B Corp community is large and geographically spread. According to the site's impact figures, it spans 5 continents, 105 countries, and 163 industries, covering 11,186 companies and 1,131,080 workers.
- Because certification is verified against standards rather than self-reported, a company appearing in the directory has met B Lab's requirements at the time of certification.
If you are searching for a specific type of business — for example, a certified clothing brand or a certified bank in your region — the directory is the appropriate starting point rather than a general web search, since it draws only from the verified pool.
Getting Involved as a Business
Certification is the main route for companies. The homepage describes Certified B Corporations as "a community of businesses that meet verified social, environmental, and governance standards." The B Lab Standards sit at the heart of this process.
To pursue certification, a business typically needs to:
- Understand the B Lab Standards, which the site describes as central to the movement and to B Lab's theory of change.
- Assess its own social, environmental, and governance practices against those standards.
- Complete the verification process B Lab requires before certification is granted.
The site frames this not as a one-time badge but as membership in a movement: "Beyond certification, B Corp is a movement—a global community of businesses committed to collective action on society's most critical challenges."
Getting Involved as a Supporter
You do not need to run a business to participate. The homepage explicitly invites a broad audience: "Whether you were with us from the start, you're a newly certified B Corp just finding your feet, or a long-time supporter from the sidelines, join us in celebrating our community."
Supporters can:
- Follow the movement's work through the "Building a Movement" section, which describes how B Lab mobilizes business toward an economic system that benefits people and the planet.
- Join the 20th anniversary celebration of the B Corp movement, which the site presents as an open invitation to the whole community.
- Learn about B Lab itself through the "Learn more about B Lab" link if they want background before engaging further.
What bcorporation.net Represents
The site is the public face of a global nonprofit and a movement, not a commercial storefront. Its stated purpose is to work "towards a more inclusive, equitable, and fair economic system." The unifying goal referenced on the site is one shared objective pursued across all those countries and industries.
