To achieve B-Corporation certification, our company must receive a minimum score on social and environmental performance. This is an online assessment that is overseen by the independent body that certifies B-Corporations (the B Lab). The assessment covers our entire operations and measures our impact in governance, workers, community, the environment, as well as our products and services. We also must integrate sustainability commitments to stakeholders into our governing documents.

Project focus should include:

• An assessment of our current business model, which will allow us to identify our areas for improvement.
• A strategy plan, based on the score assessment, that identifies the areas in which we need to improve performance to achieve the threshold score for B-Corporation certification.

The final project deliverable is a presentation detailing our current score, areas for improvement, and a strategy plan for meeting the B-Corporation certification requirements within a 1-month period.

Students will be supervised by our director of impact and additional industry mentors.
