A for-profit business that has operated for at least 12 months. Certification applies to independently operating businesses or complete and distinct subsidiaries, not to brands or divisions of a business.

What's the legal requirement?

Your company must adopt a legal framework that accounts for all stakeholders. What that means varies by country and state or province, and B Lab's legal requirement tool shows the path for your company.
