B Corp Certification
and Recertification

After completing the B Impact Assessment, we work with clients to establish measurable goals and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for improving their business impact in the long run. This is a great opportunity to plan for improvements beyond the B Impact Assessment based on a gap analysis, your firm’s theory of change, or the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

We create a quantitative and qualitative summary of the metrics most important to your business, and help prioritize and track the most actionable and impactful goals. This process helps clients identify how to grow and expand their environmental and social impact in concrete, measurable ways and prepares them for recertification.                                              

IGP’s Impact Improvement Implementation service helps companies close the gaps identified during the Gap Analysis process and prepare for certification or recertification under B Lab’s V2 standards.

We support implementation by interpreting standards, facilitating working sessions, providing practical tools and templates, tracking progress, and reviewing outputs to help ensure they are aligned with certification and audit expectations. Depending on the company’s needs, this work may include deliverables such as a double materiality assessment, JEDI action plan, stakeholder governance policy, supply chain environmental assessment, public disclosures, or other required policies and documentation.

Beyond recertification, this work strengthens the company’s broader Sustainability Management System by helping embed sustainability into governance, operations, accountability structures, action plans, and documented procedures. The goal is not only successful recertification, but stronger long-term sustainability management, reporting, and continuous improvement.

Creating and sharing an annual impact report is an obligation of all Benefit Corporations and Benefit LLC’s. Writing Impact Reports can be a burdensome and administratively intensive task. IGP helps create visually compelling impact reports designed to convert the array of impact activities and metrics into easily understandable insights. An Impact Report communicates a company’s impact to a broad range of stakeholders: employees, customers, investors, suppliers, the Board, and the wider community, allowing stakeholders to become champions of the company's missions and values.

A materiality assessment is a strategic process used to identify and prioritize the ESG issues that matter most to a company. By focusing on the factors that have the most significant impact, companies can ensure they are addressing the most critical aspects of their operations and value chain. By identifying and addressing the most significant ESG issues, companies can improve their sustainability performance, manage risks more effectively, and build stronger relationships with stakeholders.

IGP can help you take proactive steps to ensure your business is prepared for the future. The benefits of a materiality assessment are clear: improved risk management, better regulatory compliance, and a stronger, more sustainable business.
