Carbon Accounting for B Corp Assessment

Boost your environmental score by managing your carbon footprint through our carbon accounting platform.

Your footprint and B Corp

Environmental stewardship forms 1 of 5 'Impact Areas' that B Corps are scored against during the impact assessment. You'll be asked whether your business monitors greenhouse gas emissions, and what targets and policies you've put in place to reduce and offset emissions.

For many B Corps, the environment is identified as a key area for improvement as they look to recertify and improve their score.

How we help

We partner with B Corps to boost their environmental score by 10-20% through:

  • Monitoring GHG emissions (Scopes 1, 2, and 3)
  • Identifying reduction initiatives
  • Net zero target setting
  • Funding verified offsetting projects
