Certified B Corp

What is a B Corp?

The B Corp® certification is proof that a company use its business as a force for good.
The B Corp movement originates from the non-profit network B Lab™’s vision for a different kind of economy, one that would benefit all people, communities, and the planet. They believed that businesses could lead the way towards this stakeholder-led economy and developed a label to reward companies that do so.
Today Certified B Corporations are leaders in the global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. Unlike other certifications for businesses, B Lab measures a company’s entire social and environmental impact.

A natural step forward for Sustenuto

Sustenuto’s mission and values completely align with the B Corp vision and ambition. Everything we do starts from our core belief that companies can be the key levers for positive change in society.
In addition, our own services include B Corps certification guidance and training. We have helped clients such as Spadel and Alpro become B Corp certified. So naturally, it made sense for us to become a certified B Corp ourselves.
In March 2022, we officially became a Certified B Corp. The certification acknowledges our choices and actions and is a great step forward in our own sustainability journey.

Next: continuous improvement and triannual recertification

We know we can do better. In the next years as a B Corp, we will continue to develop our actions to further improve sustainability, and, as B Corp requires, apply for recertification every three years.

How to become a B Corp?

Companies must pass a rigorous assessment that evaluates both their products or services, and their business. B Corp is in fact the only certification that considers the social purpose of a company as well.
To be eligible, a company must imbed a mission lock clause in their governing documents. In doing so, they establish and protect a triple bottom approach, i.e., pursuing positive social and environmental impact in addition to financial objectives.
