B Corp Companies Are Thriving!
Why?
Because they are well run businesses creating benefits. EU-based B Corps have achieved an impressive 22% annual increase in revenue between three-year certification periods. B Corp SMEs in the UK recorded faster growth in annual turnover and greater levels of employee retention when compared to their peers.
To Be Or Not To Be A B Corp?
That is the question.
Increasingly, stakeholders are looking for businesses to take ownership of their environmental & social impact and are calling for action. The B Corp™ certification is the perfect way to demonstrate your public commitment and meet these expectations.
Being a B Corp™ is about being authentic and trustworthy, helping you build trust with your suppliers, staff and customers. Certification is challenging, holding companies to the highest standards of transparency and accountability. But it’s worth it.

Business leaders are often very time-poor. There are many challenges like energy costs, supply chain shortages, employee retention, etc. If you are looking for a simple, holistic framework that will help to define and guide your sustainability strategy, B Corp is that.
But because finding time is not easy, KALÓS is here to help.
How Does It Work?
The certification process involves the completion of a B Impact Assessment review, in which a company needs to reach a total assessment score higher than 80. In order to retain the certification, a company is also reassessed every three years to ensure it is maintaining standards and making progress on any goals it has set.
