Standards evolve. So does your leadership

We are in a moment of historic transition. The world demands more transparency and concrete results, and that is why the B Movement has evolved towards the new B Lab Standards (Version 2).

This version not only raises the bar for what it means to be a B Corporation, ...but it also becomes your best tool for meeting new international requirements. It is a more robust and rigorous path—and, above all, one designed to have a lasting impact.

Does this change affect me?

Not all companies face the same deadlines, but all face changing standards. Identify which group you are in to understand your roadmap:

Urgent

Direct Impact by ECGT

Who they are:

Companies that sell products or services in the European Union, have B2B customers there, or use the Certified B Corporation logo in advertising aimed at European consumers.

Why it is urgent:

The Consumer Empowerment Directive for the Green Transition (ECGT) seeks to eradicate the use of the greenwashing. For this group, V2 is mandatory to protect its reputation and avoid legal risks and fines as of September 2026.

Important

Global Leaders

Who they are:

Certified companies or companies in the process of certification that do not operate in Europe but seek to maintain their leading-edge status.

Why it's important:

Even if you aren't directly affected by the Directive on Consumer Empowerment for the Green Transition (ECGT), V2 is the new global standard. Adopting it positions your company in the eyes of investors and talent as one that anticipates regulatory changes and manages its risks with the highest level of rigor in the market.

The New Certification Model

From scoring to specific performance: In the previous model, companies scored points in different areas to reach a threshold. With the EB Lab Standards (V2), the approach changes: there are now 7 Impact Issues which are mandatory pillars. To certify or recertify, your company must demonstrate that it meets the minimum performance requirements in each of them.

Your path to certification: step by step

The process is now a structured journey in stages.
