Over ons
B Lab is the nonprofit network transforming the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet. We are known for certifying B Corporations, which are companies that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. But at B Lab we do so much more. We create standards, policies, tools, and programs that shift the behavior, culture, and structure of capitalism. We mobilize the B Corp community towards collective action to address society’s most critical challenges. To date, our global community includes 623,660 workers in over 7000 B Corps across 91 countries and 161 industries. The Benelux B Corp movement, launched in 2013, has now grown to 297 B Corps in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. Together, we are shifting our economic system from profiting only the few to benefiting all, from concentrating wealth and power to ensuring equity, from extraction to regeneration, and from prioritizing individualism to embracing interdependence. We won’t stop until all business is a force for good!

🔦 Spotlighting the B Keeper of the Month #3 The B Keeper is the main contact person between a B Corp and B Lab. This month's B Keeper is Raphaële Moeremans from our first B Corp football club Royale Union Saint-Gilloise SCRL. How Impact is Made: "We strive to be leaders both on and off the pitch and recognize our role as a key player in within our community. We do this by for example offering training sessions and tournaments to people who tend to be isolated, such as seniors, mentally disabled or homeless." Challenge Ahead: "We want to work with our suppliers to collect environmental and social impact data from their operations, collecting info about transportation & distribution practices, choices of materials, etc. The goal of this is to identify weaker areas and improve those aspects together." Advice for Aspiring B Corps: "Don’t hesitate to start the certification process. It may be intimidating but is also a perfect way to grow and improve as a business." Thank you Raphaële, for your dedication and inspiring work! Stay tuned for monthly B Keeper stories celebrating impactful leaders. #BKeeperOfTheMonth #BCorp #Impact #Sustainability #Leadership

🌍⌛ Today, 1 August, 2024, is Earth Overshoot Day: the day we’ve used up more of our planet’s resources than it can regenerate in a year. This is a day earlier than last year and five months forward over the past 60 years. Businesses—by consuming more resources than the planet can regenerate and often prioritizing short-term profits over long-term sustainability—are part of the problem. But B Corps continue are demonstrating that businesses can—and must—also be part of the solution. By moving away from economic principles that promote greed, wealth inequality, and ecological collapse, the B Corp movement is working towards a future where businesses regenerate rather than deplete our planet’s resources. But with the climate crises intensifying, to protect our planet and the life it sustains, we need to #MoveTheDate of Earth Overshoot Day. To address this challenge, the standards for B Corp Certification are evolving. 👉 Learn more here: https://bit.ly/3WpSFvT #bcorp #bcorpcertification #EarthOvershootDay #sustainability
