“In order to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, global emissions must be cut to 45% below 2010 levels by 2030, and the world would need to achieve net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050.

B Lab released new standards for B Corp Certification in April 2025. Within these standards, there are seven Impact Topics used to measure a company’s positive impact and, through recertification, continuous impact improvement. These guides, created by B Lab U.S. & Canada, provide examples and resources sourced from existing B Corps and partners, to support companies in meeting the new B Corp Certification standards and better understanding what it means to use business as a force for good in 2025 and beyond.
The goal of the Climate Action Impact Topic is for B Corps and other companies to take action in accordance with science to combat the climate crisis and its impacts.
