B Corp Certification Services

The new B Corp standards (V2.2) require companies to meet a series of performance requirements over time rather than achieving a single score. For many businesses, the first question is not “Can we certify?” but “What would certification actually require from us?”

Through a structured review of your policies, operations, and governance, I help you assess how your organization aligns with the new B Lab standards and what changes would be required to pursue certification.

This process results in a clear Year 0, Year 3, and Year 5 implementation roadmap outlining:

• foundational requirements for certification

• operational changes required across departments

• policy and governance updates

• areas where the company already leads

• realistic timelines for progress

The goal is clarity. By the end of this process, your leadership team will understand whether certification is feasible and what the path forward would look like.

Certification only creates impact when the people inside a company understand what it means and how it connects to their work.

I facilitate workshops and leadership sessions that translate the B Corp standards into practical meaning for your team. Together we map how the certification touches different parts of the business, from governance and HR to procurement, marketing, and operations.

This work helps companies:

• build internal understanding of B Corp certification

• identify how different departments contribute to impact goals

• align leadership and staff around shared purpose

• translate certification into culture and daily decision making

When teams understand why the certification exists and how they contribute to it, B Corp becomes more than a label. It becomes part of how the organization operates. Additionally, as part of this process teams will learn about the benefits of working for a B Corp and the resources they have access to which can lead to increased retention of a workforce.

One of the most significant changes in the new B Corp standards is the expectation that companies contribute to solutions beyond their own operations.

The Government Affairs & Collective Action (GACA) requirements ask businesses to engage responsibly in public policy, collaborate with other organizations, and contribute to broader social and environmental progress.

This area is unfamiliar territory for many companies.

I help organizations design and implement collective action strategies that are authentic, strategic, and aligned with their mission. This may include:

• identifying opportunities for collaborative impact

• designing industry or community partnerships

• aligning advocacy efforts with company values

• supporting responsible lobbying and policy engagement

• developing strategies that meet GACA requirements

The goal is to help companies move from individual action to collective impact.

Impact work only creates trust when it is communicated clearly.

I work with companies to translate their social and environmental initiatives into credible, transparent impact reports. These reports help organizations communicate progress to employees, customers, investors, and the broader community.

My work includes:

• shaping the narrative of your impact work

• structuring the report around meaningful themes

• translating data into accessible insights

• aligning reporting with B Corp standards and other frameworks

The result is a report that helps stakeholders understand both what you are doing and why it matters.

Many organizations want to deepen their impact work but are not ready to hire a full-time impact leader.

As a fractional impact director, I partner with companies on an ongoing basis to help manage and advance their impact strategy. This role provides sustained leadership across initiatives related to B Corp certification, reporting, and internal implementation.

Responsibilities may include:

• managing impact data and documentation

• coordinating internal initiatives tied to B Corp standards

• preparing for certification or recertification

• guiding collective action efforts

• supporting annual reporting and communications

This model allows companies to maintain momentum and accountability while building the internal systems needed to sustain impact over time.

Certification and impact work only reach their full potential when they are communicated clearly and authentically.

Many companies struggle to translate their commitments into language that resonates with customers, partners, and stakeholders. Others worry about saying too much or being perceived as overstating their impact.

I work with organizations to integrate their values and impact into their communications in ways that are credible, consistent, and grounded in real work. This includes helping teams identify the stories that naturally emerge from their operations and ensuring those stories are communicated with clarity and integrity.

This work may include:

• translating B Corp commitments into clear external messaging

• identifying meaningful impact stories within the business

• aligning marketing and communications with the company’s purpose

• helping teams communicate impact without drifting into greenwashing or vague claims

• supporting leadership in articulating the company’s role in the broader movement for a more equitable and regenerative economy

The goal is simple. When companies are doing meaningful work, their communications should reflect it with honesty, confidence, and care.
