What is the process and requirements for obtaining B Corp certification as a non-UK entity or international company?
B Corp certification is achievable for non-UK entities. Members have successfully certified as international operations: **Avallen** is B Corp certified as Avallen Benelux in the Netherlands, and another member is pursuing certification as a US Corp with a UK subsidiary.
The certification process requires: - **Initial application fee of £365** (current as of recent submissions) - Completion of the B Impact Assessment questionnaire - Meeting B Corp's governance and impact standards regardless of registration location
Members note that the B Corp team appears to process applications from international entities without significant additional hurdles beyond the standard certification path. The key is confirming your legal entity structure (e.g., whether you're filing as a Benelux entity, US Corp, or other jurisdiction) at the point of application.
No members raised specific complications with international certification, suggesting the process is straightforward once you've identified your official registered entity for the certification.
