B Corp Certification

B Corp Certification is a globally recognized designation awarded to businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. It is granted by B Lab, a nonprofit organization that assesses companies based on their impact on workers, customers, communities, and the environment.

To achieve B Corp certification, businesses must complete a rigorous B Impact Assessment (BIA), scoring at least 80 points across key areas like governance, employee treatment, environmental sustainability, and supply chain responsibility. Companies must also commit to ongoing improvement, with reassessments every three years to maintain certification.

Beyond carbon accounting, Carbon Analytics also supports businesses working toward B Corp certification. Watch this video to learn more:

How It Works

The software follows a straightforward process that starts with linking financial data (e.g. invoices from suppliers, and utility bills) and ends with a detailed carbon footprint analysis.

First, businesses connect their accounting software or upload a Xero or Excel file, allowing Carbon Analytics to pull transaction data automatically. This includes expenses related to fuel, electricity, travel, and supplier purchases. Once the data is imported, the software automatically processes each purchase, calculating its carbon impact.

Finally, the platform provides a full breakdown of the company's emissions. The report categorizes emissions into Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3. Businesses can review their footprint at a company-wide level or zoom into specific transactions and suppliers.

Certificatied by Carbon Analytics

For companies looking to showcase their sustainability efforts, Carbon Analytics offers a certification system. Businesses that take steps to reduce emissions can earn Carbon Analytics badges, which they can display on their website or marketing materials.
