To certify as a B Corp, you will be required to make a commitment to consider your company’s impact on its stakeholders, now and in the future, by building it into your legal structure. This is a big part of the certification process and shows your commitment to being a responsible business. You can earn an extra 10 points on your BIA by doing this.
