We don’t all start from the same place.

Businesses that address the needs of their community and of our shared planet deserve a fair shot. We must acknowledge the imbalances in entrepreneurship and actively level the field in order to build a more inclusive and just economy.

That is why B Lab U.S. & Canada strives to support businesses facing systemic challenges to economic empowerment through our Level program.

Thank You to Our 2021-2022 Level Participating Companies
