Aspiring B Corp Leaders - Are you confident that B Corp certification is right for your business, but questioning whether or not NOW is the right time? This is the most common question we get from folks in your position. Here are 3 signs that NOW is the time to get it done AND the time to reach out for help:
👉 You’ve been trying to do it internally for 1-3 (or more!) years. You're not doing yourself or your business any favors by keeping this on your to do list for years and years. Get it off your list by either putting in the resources to do it now OR set a date to revisit it in the future when it makes more sense for your business.
👉 You’ve handed the project off to multiple team members. This means lost time AND $ for your business. There is a wealth of knowledge lost every time this happens. And knowledge = $. Don’t fall into the trap of continuing to waste money on this - because the ROI from certification only comes after you get it done!
👉 You’ve made lots of progress on the current assessment. Did you know B Lab (the B Corp certification governing body) is releasing new (very different) standards next year? If you’ve made a lot of progress on the current assessment (which takes a lot of time and energy), it’s in your best interest to submit it sooner rather than later - to avoid having to start from scratch! (More info about the new standards here).
If this sounds like you, reach out! We’re happy to chat with you to see if now is indeed the right time, and how to quickly get certified so you can realize the benefits you deserve from all the good you are doing!
