Using business as a force for good!

Everyday, you have a chance to vote. Every coffee you drink, every meal you eat, every piece of clothing you wear, every bank account you open represents an opportunity to vote for what you believe in. Demand more from the businesses you buy from, work for, invest in and vote everyday!

Certified B Corporations are companies who meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.

The B Corp Certification is the only certification that measures a company’s entire social and environmental performance. The B Impact Assessment evaluates how a company’s operations and business model impact your workers, community, environment, and customers. From the supply chain and input materials to charitable giving and employee benefits, the B Corp Certification proves that a business meets the highest standards of verified performance.

Just last week, the B Corp movement showed its commitment to action rather than words, when over 500 B Corps announced their commitment to reaching net zero emissions in 2030 - 20 years earlier than the objectives set by the Paris Agreement. This is the largest constituency of businesses to take such a commitment.

The Swiss Triple Impact (STI) is an inclusive program ran by B Lab Switzerland to engage Swiss businesses of all sizes and sectors to take action in the face of great challenges of our time. Participating businesses are supported throughout a three-year pathway where they measure their social and environmental impact, identify concrete opportunities for improvement and learn from their peers. Furthermore, the STI will provide a comprehensive diagnosis of the impact of Swiss businesses on society, the environment and the economy.

B Lab is the non-profit organisation that delivers the B Corp certification, and who supports the community of people who are using business as a force for good. Lookout for the Certified B Corporation logo to spot exemplary companies, employers, products and services.
