Why B Corps?
Certified B Corporations are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. B Corps are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy.
This project sought to understand the analytics behind certifying B Corporations. Specifically, we wanted to understand the following analytical elements of B Corporation Certification:
-
What are the individual impact areas that make up the overall impact score?
What is the relative contribution of each impact area to the overall impact score?
Visit the impact areas analysis page. -
Does a company's impact score tend to improve or worsen over the course of their
tenure of certification?
Visit the impact score changes analysis page. -
What business sectors tend to have higher impact scores? Do certain industries tend
to improve or worsen their impact score over multiple certification cycles? Which
industries improve vs worsen over multiple certification cycles?
Visit the impact scores by sector page. -
Is there a correlation between change in impact score and change in profit for a company?
