Certification
1. B Corp certification.
B Corp stands for "B Corporation." It is a certification system that is given only to clean companies.
B Corp certification is administered by B Lab, a non-profit network established in 2006 and headquartered in the United States.
B Lab has established the following unique corporate evaluation criteria based on its belief that "what is lacking in the current global economic system is a transition to a sustainable corporate structure".
- Are you contributing to the world by engaging in "social and environmental activities"?
- Are you committed to "accountability" to your business stakeholders?
- Are you maintaining a high level of transparency by disclosing its organizational operations both internally and externally?
Nowadays, corporate valuations that differ from the traditional shareholder-centric approach, such as stakeholder-centric and sustainable finance, have emerged, but as of 2006, they were extremely rare.
B Lab's values are consistent with OSINTech's philosophy of pursuing the well-being of all stakeholders, with an emphasis on the environment and society.
The purpose of B Lab's certification of companies that meet high standards in terms of "social and environmental activities," "accountability," and "transparency" is not just an evaluation, but also a movement to promote clean corporate activities worldwide through the creation of a community of certified companies.
As of March 2022, there are approximately 4,500 "B Corporation" certified companies worldwide.
OSINTech is the 10th company to receive B Corp certification in Japan. (as of March 24, 2022, the number of certified companies is publicly available).
As a member of the B Corporation, we will continue to participate in the community of certified companies and aim to further solve global environmental and social issues.
