What Are The Requirements?
The B Corp Certification is a designation that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials. In order to achieve certification, a company must:
Complete the assessment
Demonstrate high social and environmental performance by achieving a B Impact Assessment score of 80 or above and passing our risk review. Multinational corporations must also meet baseline requirement standards.
With the exception of circumstances outlined on B Lab's Controversial Issues page, any established for-profit company may pursue B Corp Certification. There is no minimum or maximum size. Certain companies, such as those under a year old, those with related entities, or large multinational and public companies, have additional considerations and requirements.
[Update: April 2025] B Lab has published its new standards, and is in the process of first transitioning existing Certified B Corps to the new standards. Companies intending to certify on the old standards (the process and fees outlined on this page) are encouraged to submit by end of 2025, as B Lab intends to transition to the new standards in 2026. More details on certifying on the new standards can be found here.

Submission & Certification Fees
The B Impact Assessment is provided as a public-good. B Lab Singapore encourages all companies to use this complimentary self-assessment framework to measure and improve their impact.
All companies submitting their BIA for B Corp Certification undergo rigorous analysis and verification processes. Your submission fees are used to subsidise the cost of verification, and enables B Lab to focus resources and review processes on companies that are committed to the B Corp Certification.
Both submission and certification fees are based on a company's gross revenue. To maintain the B Corp certification, companies pay certification fees annually. The fees indicated below are in US$, and are non-refundable.
