HOW IT STARTED
B Lab, a non-profit community, committed to transforming the global economy to benefit all people and the planet, was established in 2006. It has grown from 80 certified B Corporation companies in 2007 to more than 6,000 in the US and Canada today.
By driving adoption of B Lab standards and working with allied organizations and activists like B Local NYC, B Lab is proving that the B Corp community can create a more just future for all people and the planet. Its focus on the Theory of Change encompasses three core pillars: Racial Equity, Climate Justice and Stakeholder Economy.
WHERE WE'RE TAKING IT
B Local NYC helps increase B Lab's impact and further the B Corp movement through community outreach and engagement, initiating advocacy, education and policy actions that promote the efforts of a network committed to doing business better.
