As other global frameworks evolve, the value of B Corp certification hinges on the credibility of the full breadth of standards it demands in practice, not just as cherry-picked aspiration.

More than becoming a recognized label – B-corp is a movement towards an economic system aligned with soul. Corp Standard must center human rights in the Supply Chain Impact Business Model and reference the UN Guiding Principles on Business Human Rights. This is simple

This has improved somewhat and we joined in hopes of modeling how a B Corp should act in the world – but here we are again. Allowing this or any other “social good” label to be used for greenwashing confuses consumers, doesn’t do any real good foe people or planet and muddies the waters for the sincere and committed companies out there.

We were a Certified B Corp for several years before pandemic strains and the challenges of operating a brick-and mortar-retailer took precedent, and we couldn’t manage the recertification process.

We had hoped to re-certify again someday, but will be much less inclined to do so if the standard does not carry the same integrity that it once did. Nestlé / Nespresso are pretty egregious examples of businesses that do not fit the model of a B Corp.

How for that to come about is the big question for me.
