B Corp certification is a designation given to for-profit companies that meet certain standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
To become certified, a company must meet certain performance requirements in areas such as workers' rights, environmental impact, and community involvement, and must also amend its legal governing documents to consider the impact of its decisions on stakeholders in addition to shareholders.
We’re incredibly proud to be the platform that B-corp certified companies can support their team’s health and wellbeing through.
Why is employee wellbeing a key part of being a B-Corp Certification?
Employee wellbeing is an important aspect of a B Corp certification because it is one of the key criteria that B Lab uses to evaluate a company's overall social and environmental performance.
A company that prioritises the wellbeing of its employees is more likely to have a positive impact on its workers, their families, and the wider community.
Promoting employee wellbeing can lead to a number of benefits for both the employees and the company. As we all know, employees who are happy and healthy are more likely to be productive and engaged, which can lead to increased job satisfaction and retention.
Additionally, companies that prioritise employee wellbeing also tend to have a more positive impact on their local communities. When employees feel valued and respected, they are more likely to be active and engaged citizens, which can lead to stronger communities overall.
In summary, B Corp certification takes into account a company's overall impact on society and the environment, and promoting employee wellbeing is a key aspect of this, which is why it is an important criterion for B Corp certification.
