Approach
With a focus on strategic planning and preparation, we work closely with teams to navigate the transition.
The framework’s mandatory requirements across seven impact topics mean thorough preparation is essential. Our B Corp experts provide strategic guidance to create detailed action plans, ensuring your team understands current performance gaps and the requirements ahead.
Successful preparation requires strategic implementation over an extended timeline. Our approach supports businesses through this process, offering expert interpretation of detailed requirements, evidence collection strategies, and implementation support delivered swiftly and effectively.
Our partnership with B Lab Europe means we’re close to the roots of the movement. The breadth of our experience across all sectors and business sizes ensures a deep understanding of the recertification process and what it means for your business.

What is the recertification time frame?
Submit your updated B Impact Assessment well in advance of your recertification date. It’s best to plan for an extended preparation timeline due to mandatory tracking requirements and sequenced implementation needs that must be completed in a timely manner. Download our recertification guide for more information.
How long does it take to prepare for recertification?
Successful preparation requires strategic planning over an extended period, including gap analysis, evidence collection, implementation of new processes, and preparation for third-party verification. Download our recertification guide for more information.
What does meeting the standards mean?
The system requires mandatory compliance across a set of foundational requirements and seven impact topics. Success means meeting every detailed requirement rather than achieving a target score. We help establish clear compliance goals and build tailored action plans that ensure no gaps remain at verification.
How do the standards affect organisational changes?
The framework requires detailed documentation across all impact topics regardless of organisational changes. Whether you’ve experienced growth, international expansion, or structural changes, our expertise in both standards enables us to accurately map your organisation’s changes against the specific compliance requirements of whichever framework applies to your recertification timeline.
