In 2015, Honest to Goodness joined over 2000 Certified B-Corporations from more than 130 industries in 50 countries with 1 unifying goal – to redefine success in business.

What is a Certified B-Corporation? 

It’s a certification
         Like fair trade or organic, but for the whole company

It’s unique
         Meets the highest standards of verified performance, transparency, and accountability

It’s an approach
         A better way to do business -- better for workers, communities, the environment

It’s a community
        A community of practice to increase our individual and collective impact

It’s a movement
        Leaders of a global movement of people...

Certified B-Corporations meet higher standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. The performance standards are comprehensive and transparent. They measure a company’s impact on all its stakeholders (e.g. workers, suppliers, community, and the environment). Together, B-Corps redefine success in business by competing not to be the best in the world, but to be the best for the world.

B-Corp Certification was an important step for Honest to Goodness and showcases our overall commitment to social and environmental standards. B-Corps are important because they inspire all businesses to compete not only to be the best in the world, but to be the best for the world.
