  • New standards for B-Corp


    If you are B-Corp Certified, or working to become certified soon, you will know they are undergoing the biggest evolution of their standards in their 17-year history.

    There has been speculation about them introducing a minimum scoring standard in each pillar. So, what might that mean for B-Corps who achieve most of their score in two or three categories?

    In our recent research, we found that 50% of UK B-Corps listed Workers as their number one priority for becoming certified, closely followed by Community.

    After some examples of poor people-practices in B-Corps hitting the headlines this year, we’re predicting a tighter focus on Workers and Community in the new standards.

    In B-Corps in the UK, employing over 50 people, the average Workers score is 32.4. The highest Workers score is 73.3 and the lowest, a worrying 12.9.

    The average Community score is 19.1. With highest and lowest scores being 39.8 and 5.6 respectively. The highest DEI score is 12.

    Do you know how your organisation compares?

    At EDI Accreditation, we have always believed ethical business, should start with how you treat your people. We have now accrEDIted© several B-Corps who feel our people focused measure complements the B-Corp Certification perfectly and will help strengthen their performance in the Workers and Community (DEI) areas ahead of the coming changes.
