Certified B Corporations are for-profit companies that use the power of business to build a more inclusive and sustainable economy. They meet the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. To date, there are 2,800 B Corps in 150 industries and 60 countries around the world, of which 25 B Corps and 50 companies in the certification process in Switzerland.

The B Corp certification is one of the world’s most advanced ratings for corporate sustainability.
