At CitizenLab, impact isn’t just an afterthought - it’s a core part of our business. This year, we were proud to become a Certified B Corporation and join a community of changemakers, working collectively to address society’s most critical challenges.

​

So what exactly is a B Corp? B Corps are for-profit, mission-driven companies that seek to balance purpose and profit while boldly reimagining the role that business plays in society. More concretely, Certified B Corps meet B Lab’s high standards for social and environmental impact, making a clear commitment to stakeholder governance, and demonstrating accountability and transparency. 

​

B Lab is a non-profit that measures a company’s social and environmental performance against the standards of the B Impact Assessment. The certification process looks at a business as a whole and examines how it creates value across five key areas: governance, workers, customers, community, and the environment. To become certified, a company must meet – and continue to uphold – high standards for transparency, accountability, and social and environmental performance. 

​

Today there are over 5,000 Certified B Corporations in over 80 countries across over 150 industries, and we are proud to join their ranks!
