Certified B Corps commit to using their profits and growth to have a positive impact on the world.

As stated in the B Corp declaration of interdependence, they must conduct their business as if people and places matter, and should aspire to do no harm and benefit all through their products, practices, and profits.

Therefore, B Corp certification doesn’t simply assess a product or a service sold by a company but rather its broader impact on society and the environment.

"As , we are rain dancers for change; we often find ourselves treading where other businesses have not (or will not) because we know that change is the most urgent requirement for today’s world. B Corp is a growing movement for change, and the certification looks at all elements of a business." Juliet Kennedy, Founder and Chief Evangelist at Greenspoon Kenya.

Koa receives B Corp certification for its socially responsible business just five years after the establishment of its innovative cocoa fruit venture.

The Swiss-Ghanaian start-up is excited to announce the successful B Corp Certification with a score of 95.7 points. As Koa is scaling its operations, the team pushes even further in improving and leading with positive change. Koa has officially become the third Ghanaian B Corp using the power of business to address some of society's greatest challenges.

“Nowadays, measuring the success of a company needs to go beyond pure financial performance. Since our inception, we measure our success on the triple bottom line: people, planet and profit. Being B Corp certified, we join a community of businesses around the world leading the transformation of the global economic system and we hope that many of our peers will follow our example,” Benjamin Kuschnik, Co-Founder and Group Finance Director of the Swiss-Ghanaian start-up, highlights.

To help businesses take meaningful action on the SDGs, B Lab and the UN Global Compact worked together to develop an online impact-management solution that draws from their expertise. The SDG Action Manager incorporates questions from B Lab’s B Impact Assessment and the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact into 17 modules relating to the SDGs, providing tools and direction for business to reshape their practices, and use their collective voice to drive progress in the run up to 2030.

But what exactly is the SDG Action Manager? How does it differ from the B Impact Assessment? Which tool should I use first?
