B™ Companies for Climate and Nature

Join the regional Empresas B™ program for Climate and Nature, an initiative of Sistema B free, designed to help B Corporations understand and integrate B Lab™’s new standards for Climate Action (CA) and Environmental and Circularity Management (ECM).

The future of corporate action in the face of the climate and biodiversity crisis is being redefined. With the introduction of B Lab’s new standards, a new era of environmental management is dawning in Latin America: one that is more technical, more rigorous, and characterized by a unified regional approach.

Through a combination of technical training, collective action, and a community of practice, the B-Companies for Climate and Nature program aims to strengthen companies’ capacity to measure, plan, and implement climate and nature actions, establishing them as undisputed leaders in just decarbonization and the regeneration of our planet.

What's changing?

To help you better understand B Lab’s new standards on Climate Action, Environmental Management, and Circularity, we are building a comprehensive regional ecosystem for learning and technical support.

What does this mean for your organization?

This program serves as the central, collaborative platform for training, guiding, and recognizing companies that seek to align their management practices with demanding global climate and circularity requirements.

Changes in Scope (Climate and Nature)

Considerations

Participation in the program does not guarantee certification or recertification as a B Corporation, nor does it guarantee explicit compliance with the requirements associated with the Impact Themes.
The program provides tools to understand and integrate the B Lab Standards V2, helping to strengthen the company's management to ensure alignment with them.
The role of Sistema B and the B-Corporation mentors is to provide training, guidance, and support in understanding the standards for implementation, without interfering in the final certification decision. The audit and certification processes are conducted by an independent third-party provider.
System B guarantees that sensitive technical and emissions data shared by companies will be treated as strictly confidential and will only be used in aggregate form for impact reporting purposes, unless the company authorizes its publication as a success story.
