This Way Forward
Because B Corp certification isn’t a destination. It’s an invitation to join the journey to better business.
Can't stop, won't stop moving forward
B Corps use the power of business to build a better economy.
B Corp Month is an annual, global campaign. Every year during March, B Lab and the global B Corp community join together to celebrate everything it means to be a B Corp.
Certified B Corporations™ (B Corps™) 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.
Business as usual is so blah. Staying the same is no way to create a better, bolder, brighter future. The future is this way, and B Corps are leading us there. So, if you’re looking for meaningful services and purposeful products from businesses that care about more than just profit – look no further.
B Corps Lead the Way
Michigan is home to 30+ B Corps
B Corps are constantly making moves to create more inclusive workspaces, improve their climate impact, and respond to the ever-changing issues in the world. So, if you want to look forward to better business, this is the place.
JUST GETTING STARTED
WHO RUN THE WORLD?
Getting B Corp certified isn’t the end of the road – it’s just the beginning. Most B Corps keep improving their impact over time. And B Lab is doing its part too, by continually raising the bar for certification.
As world issues are ever-changing, it’s up to us to keep moving better business forward. And you’re invited.
GIRLS! Michigan has a rich community of Women-led B Corps. B Corps are twice as likely to be led by majority-female management teams, with there being over 1,800 women-owned B Corps. Help us celebrate these powerhouses during Women’s History Month!

MEASURING WHAT MATTERS
BUILDING EQUITY
B Corps work toward a more socially and environmentally just economy by upholding three core standards: racial equity, climate justice and stakeholder-centered economies. B Corps center people, planet and profit to create more positive change.
Learn more about the three pillars of change.
Did you know that 119,000 workers can own shares in their B Corp company? That’s because 26% of B Corps give employees the opportunity to own a piece of their company.
