What it means to be a B Corp
It's a certification
like our ESG and green building certifications
It's an opportunity
to influence our people, our suppliers, our customers, and our industry to do better.
It's a commitment
to balance purpose and profit and use business as a force for good.
It's a community
of businesses that meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance.
It's just the beginning
of a business wide framework for continuous improvement.

Quote from Steve on why or what is means for us to be a certified B Corp.

As a Certified B Corp,
we meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.
The B Corp Movement
B Lab is transforming the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet. A leader in economic systems change, our global network creates standards, policies, and tools for business, and we certify companies — known as B Corps — who are leading the way.
To date, our community includes 400,000 workers in over 6,000 B Corps across 80+ countries and 155+ industries, and more than 200,000 companies manage their impact with the B Impact Assessment and the SDG Action Manager.
The B Corp Community is constantly evolving and often surprising. Though B Corp Certification originated in the U.S., there are now more B Corps operating outside the U.S. And while many people are most familiar with B Corps that sell consumer product goods, the majority of the community is actually made up of B2B companies.
Across borders and cultures, these companies have all signed a commitment not just to do less harm, but to do more good, and they accelerate their positive impact by partnering with fellow B Corps.

Our Journey
Nova made the active decision that becoming a General Benefit Corporation (GBC) alone was not “good enough.”
We wanted an external review and verification that our daily actions, policies, and procedures aligned with our core values of people, property, and planet.
