Support for
B Corp recertification
The B Corp movement aims to create a community of leaders, companies, and employees who use their business to have a positive impact on the planet and people.
They act together to share best practices and reflect on their role in the economy: they aim to be genuine responsible citizens.
B Corps are a new type of company that reconcile profitability with positive impact.
The strength of this certification is that it creates a global framework that allows companies to embed their policies, practices, and CSR strategy for the long term.

A Gap Analysis Tool made for you
The new B Corp standards introduce clear and ambitious requirements, structured around universal themes (climate, social justice, ethical governance, diversity and equity, etc.). Recertification is therefore a step both in consolidation and continuous improvement.
We have developed a unique tool that allows you to:
- identify the requirements applicable to your sector, to your company size, and according to the deadlines that apply to you (0, 3, and 5 years),
- facilitate the construction of your roadmap,
- spot key exercises to anticipate (materiality analysis, climate action plan, JEDI policies, etc.).
This tool, available upon request, helps you clarify your priorities and secure your actions over the long term.

Our methodology for B Corp recertification support
A personalized and pragmatic support in four steps:
01. Assessment of achievements
We analyze your previous BIA to accurately map what is already in place and identify fully compliant areas. Using our gap analysis methodology, we detect the remaining gaps and focus work only on what still needs to be implemented, avoiding any redundancy and optimizing the effort required for progress.
02. Roadmap
Based on our gap analysis, we develop a structured roadmap that details, step by step, what still needs to be implemented or updated. Each action (materiality analysis, climate plan, Carbon Footprint®, transparency obligations, etc.) is included in a clear schedule, accompanied by a budget estimate to help you effectively manage your progress.
03. Data Collection and Structuring
We implement a rigorous collection of your data using structured spreadsheets, tailored to the requirements of the standard. This methodology allows your reports to be fed with reliable, comparable, and objective information, while also facilitating your internal annual tracking. This provides you with a clear and sustainable database to manage your CSR progress.
04. Raising Awareness and Team Engagement
In line with the new standards, we handle all awareness and team engagement activities: online questionnaires, awareness workshops, the development of a Culture Playbook, and any other initiatives necessary to embed CSR at the heart of your organization.
05. Setup and completion
We assist you in the optimal configuration of your file and facilitate its submission to B Lab. We handle the completion of compliance evidence by gathering, organizing, and documenting all the necessary elements to precisely meet the standard’s requirements. We also prepare for and anticipate the audit to secure each step and optimize your results.
