B Corp Month

Mar 01, 2023

This March, we are celebrating B Corp month! For the whole month we will celebrate all things B Corp, from what it means to be a B Corp business, what we have done to achieve B Corp status, and other B Corp brands that we are loving this month.

The B Corp movement began back in 2007 and today there are over 6,000 Certified B Corporations in more than 80 countries and over 150 industries globally. B Corp brands offer a simple way to tell if a business is balancing profit and purpose – these days, it’s becoming increasingly common for people to distrust businesses (especially with all the greenwashing we’ve witnessed taking place), but you can be sure that when you buy from a B Corp certified brand, you’re supporting a business that adheres to the highest environmental and social standards.

So, what is B Corp?

It’s a third-party certification for businesses that meet certain ethical and sustainable criteria. For brands to receive B Corp certification, the must take the B Impact Assessment which asks a range of questions across five impact areas, these are Governance, Community, Environment, Workers, and Customers. The B Corp certification is a great way to identify a brand that is serious about protecting the planet – like us! Here are a few things we do at PandaHQ that support our mission of being a better business:

Governance

Community
