What is B Corp certification?

That the sustainability is a key axis for the strategic development of the company. company and for the improvement of its competitiveness does not need much justification nowadays. However, its integration into the company's day-to-day operations is not easy. and needs, in my opinion, two relevant aspects:

1. Culture of commitment to sustainability
2. Transversal management model to bring sustainability down to earth in day-to-day business activities.

In this post I am going to focus on this second aspect, taking the proposal from B Corp like one of the most widely recognized and profound sustainability standards in existence today.

Many of you may have already heard about B Corp, but I would like to dedicate a few lines to explain what this proposal consists of.

B Corp, international certification and its self-assessment tool

B Corp is an international certification granted by the organization B Lab a companies that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. This international certification evaluates how a company impacts its employees, suppliers, the community, the environment and its customers, ensuring that the company do not only look for economic benefit, but also to generate a positive impact on society and the planet.

In summary, we could say that Certified B Corp companies are committed to generating a positive social, environmental and economic impact. To carry out this commitment, a comprehensive assessment of its practices is conducted, ranging from corporate governance and labor policies to environmental sustainability.

This self-evaluation is carried out through a free tool that B Lab has developed, adapting this tool to the reality of the company: its size, the markets in which it operates, the services and products it develops, etc.

This first step of self-assessment is not always easy, but it is essential to have a good diagnosis from which to move forward.

In order to carry out this self-assessment task and its future improvement developments from Felidarity we have been able to accompany to different companies. With this support, we help companies to verify and ensure that they are carrying out a correct self-assessment and, therefore, we prepare them to face the audit and certification process carried out by B Lab.

Once the self-assessment is done, those aspects that need to be worked on or deepened are identified and we help them in their development and integration.
