You can certify as a B Corp if you're a for-profit business that's been running for at least 12 months. In order to achieve a certification a company must:

• Demonstrate high social and environmental performance by achieving a B Impact Assessment score of 80 or above and pass the risk review. Multinational corporations must also meet baseline requirement standards. 

• Make a legal commitment by changing their corporate governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders, not just shareholders, and achieve benefit corporation status if available in their jurisdiction. 

• Exhibit transparency by allowing information about their performance measured against B Lab’s standards to be publicly available on their B Corp profile on B Lab’s website.
