We are entering a new era for B Corp certification – and it’s a big one. B Lab have been working on new standards since 2020, and they are being rolled out this year. The new B Corp certification standards are an opportunity to sharpen strategy, embed meaningful impact, and build real accountability into every business decision. But the process is complex, and the real value lies in how you prepare, navigate, and leverage your certification. 

There is a unique opportunity available right now for businesses interested in certification. The new standards will officially replace the existing standards early in 2026. The new standards are more rigorous and will require more resourcing. So there’s a window of opportunity right now to certify under the current standards with our refined, proven and efficient process to get you to certification.

In this exclusive AFISC webinar, expert B Corp consultants Phil Brown and Kirsty Simmonds from The Growth Activists will take you behind the scenes of the certification journey and help you understand if and how B Corp Certification supports your strategic goals and commercial direction. They will also outline the changes with the new standards and why it is a great time to certify now.

If you’re unsure what a BCorp certification means for your business, here are some benefits:

• Increased employee engagement and retention

• Improved customer trust (B2B and B2C)

• Attraction of capital (VC, PE, sustainability-linked loans)

• Improved data for strategic decision-making makes B Corps better businesses

• The best and most holistic ESG trust mark in the world for businesses prioritising people and planet alongside profit
