About Us
What We Believe

We manage what
we measure.
This is one of the most basic truths in business. It follows that we ought to measure what matters most: the ability of a business to not only generate returns, but also to create value for its customers, employees, community, and the environment.
We are a global movement
of business leaders that seek to redefine success in business, so that one day all companies compete not only to be the best in the world, but to be the best for the world.
We envision that in a generation's time, all businesses will measure and manage their impact as readily as they do profitability.
To make it easy for all businesses to participate in this vision,
the B Impact Assessment provides:
Standards
Credible, comprehensive, transparent, and independent standards of social and environmental performance that allow businesses to assess their overall impact.
Benchmarks
Publicly available benchmarks on corporate impact that allow businesses to compare their impact.
Tools
Practical, easy to use tools to help businesses improve their impact over time.


Why?
Because it not only helps them become a better corporate citizen,
but also helps them be a better business.
