In addition, companies may receive additional points if they can demonstrate that their business model as a whole also has positive social and environmental impacts, which makes a company eligible for certain points in the impact model. The Impact Assessment B section asks questions about how a company’s day-to-day operations have a positive impact on employees, society and the environment. In order to receive a certificate B, a company must score a minimum of 80 points on the Impact Assessment B scale. The topics highlighted in blue are business impact models associated with the area of impact in which the company scored additional points. Tag B may stipulate that the company should make the additional information transparent in addition to the Impact Report B so that the public can assess the company’s overall impact. However, within these parameters, there are still issues in the Impact Assessment B that may not apply to a particular company. An Impact B Report is tailored to the company’s size, sector and geographic market. The questions in Impact Assessment B are divided into five impact areas: Management, Employees, Community, Environment and Clients. Each year, Lab B publishes lists of the most effective B-certified bodies in each impact zone and worldwide, disaggregated by size. Public companies and 100% subsidiaries are required to fully assess the effects of substances containing B in a transparent manner to obtain B-certification.

This additional transparency may be related to a company’s involvement in a controversial sector, to information it shares through the company’s disclosure questionnaire, or simply to the company’s relationship with a more complex enterprise. The performance of B-certified companies is verified by the nonprofit laboratory B. To use this form, you must enable JavaScript. Because of rounding, the totals shown may not exactly match.
