Partnerships
Let’s build an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economic system together.
Our Partnership Approach
B Lab U.S. & Canada partners with a broad range of leading and emergent organizations to advance climate justice, racial equity, and a stakeholder-driven economic system. We work with partner organizations across these domains.
We partner with other leading nonprofits, coalitions, and business-focused impact leaders. The aim of these partnerships is to align strategies, educate decision-makers, and enable the ecosystem needed for a stakeholder-driven economy to exist.
We partner with B Corp supporters, issue-area experts, and media platforms. The aim of these partnerships is to grow, resource, mobilize, and amplify the impact of the B Corp community and other credible businesses.
We partner with funders, consultants, and other supporters of the B Lab Global Network. The aim of these partnerships is to inform, resource, and carry out our strategy and day-to-day operations.
Partnerships in Action
We collaborate on dozens of initiatives —
See below for a few examples:
White House Initiative
B Lab and the U.S. Impact Investing Alliance lead a coalition of 50 impact-oriented organizations to work on creating a White House Initiative on Inclusive Economic Growth. This coalition is coordinating federal policies that will reshape and rebuild our economy so that it works for all of us.
LEVEL
B Lab developed a pilot program for businesses led by those who identify as women and are Black, Indigenous, or other People of Color, with the support of B Corp consultants and pro-bono lawyers. The program’s aim is to deepen relationships with, and offer capacity building for entrepreneurs who have been historically marginalized.
Business Development Bank of Canada
B Lab works with BDC (a Certified B Corp) to advance the B Corp movement in Canada, through advising on B Lab’s overall strategy, providing financial support to grow the B Corp community in Canada, educating and training companies on B Corp certification, and recertification, and deepening collaboration among Canadian B Corp leaders.
Climate Justice Playbook
B Lab and the B Corp Climate Collective teamed up with COP26 Climate Champions Team, Provoc, and the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at the University of Oxford. Together, we have created a learning resource that helps businesses focus on justice in their climate action strategy.
2021 CEO Blueprint for Racial Equity
B Lab joined as a flagship partner to the Corporate Racial Equity Alliance, founded by PolicyLink, FSG, and JUST Capital. This Alliance engages B Corps and other business leaders in the 2021 CEO Blueprint for Racial Equity tool. This tool supports leaders in enterprise-wide practice change on racial equity at the company, community, and societal levels.
Take Your Seat
B Lab invited B Corp leaders to join the Take Your Seat platform, which fosters a community of Black professionals and allies who are committed to building the inclusive boardrooms of the future, through online resources, educational events and training, and a board seat directory.
Fors Marsh Group
B Corp Fors Marsh Group offers B Lab pro-bono research consulting for the B Corp Annual Community Survey and other insights-gathering initiatives, allowing B Lab to carry out a responsive and community-driven strategy.
