The B Corp Handbook

Idaho for Good uses B Lab and B Corp Standards as the North Star for operating businesses as a force for good. We believe it’s the most comprehensive social and environmental framework in the word for good business standards.

Idaho for Good community and members don’t have to become B Corps, but we do use it as a guide and resource to support local businesses and guide them to better practices.

Ever wondered what exactly B Corp certified means? Why does it exist? Does it really matter? These questions, and many more, are answered throughout this authoritative guide, The B Corp Handbook. Included in the handbook are insights from the leaders of over 200 B Corps around the globe who share their experience achieving B Corp certification and improving their companies’ social and environmental impact.

Have you ever thought of becoming a B Corps yourself?
One of our favorite tools is The B Impact Assessment — you can assess your own business against the standards of the B Corp Certification. And the best part is: it’s free. It’s a huge, robust tool that even B Corps use — and they give it to you for free.

If you’re not interested in becoming a B Corp we love this tool as way to explore new ways to operate a business as a force for good. It’s a treasure trove of ideas for you to implement and upgrade your biz — like what banks are good for the planet, how to think about your supply chain, ethical policies for employees, and different ways to serve your community.
