B Impact Assessment: The Scorecard for Sustainable Business

The B Impact Assessment (BIA) is a free, confidential online tool developed by B Lab to measure a company's social and environmental performance. It's not just a certification prerequisite; it's a roadmap for improvement, covering everything from employee benefits and community engagement to environmental impact and governance. Companies can use it to benchmark themselves against peers, identify areas for growth, and publicly share their progress. While the ultimate goal for many is B Corp Certification, the BIA itself offers significant value for any business committed to operating more responsibly.
