The list below consists of 25 of the best certified B Corporations to support in 2021. Also sharing why supporting B Corps is so important for us as consumers & for our planet!
Since March is National B Corp month, I wanted to share a roundup of B Corporations who are doing great things & influencing change across the board. In my opinion, the list below shares 25 of the best B Corporations to support in 2021 if you’re into clean living, non-toxic beauty, & a variety of health food brands who are committed to driving change!
As some of you may know, I work for Beautycounter as an independent consultant. I mention that because Beautycounter is actually a certified B Corporation as well! Since learning that over a year ago, I now love supporting B corporations because I know that when I support them with my dollar, I know that dollar is going towards good!
What is a B Corp?
A B Corporation or “B Corp” are for-profit companies – there’s approximately 3,500 certified B Corps across 70 countries – that meet the highest levels of standards for social & environmental performance, accountability in terms of profit & purpose, & transparency regarding all things such as sourcing, ingredients, & labor. B Corps are focused on more than just profit therefore contributing to the global movement of people using businesses & their hard earned dollar towards driving change within a specific industry.
Take Beautycounter for example. Beautycounter is a certified B Corporation because they value people, the planet, & profit by advocating for much needed change within the beauty & personal care industry. They do this by advocating for safer laws governing the beauty industry, while also educating consumers, working towards being more sustainable, & being fully transparent in terms of supply chains, labor, sourcing, & ingredient lists.
If you want to support more B Corps who commit themselves to doing good across the board, keep an eye out for the B Corp logo on products or on the brand’s website! This logo will ensure they qualify as a certified B Corporation. You can then use your dollar towards supporting those companies & what it means to be a B Corporation in general.
Where we spend our money drives industries across the board. By becoming more mindful of where & how we choose to spend our money, we are then able to support communities & brands, like the B Corps listed below, towards bettering our environment, keeping us as consumers healthy & safe, & of course, building a sustainable economy!
