Support your organisation to 2025 B Corp status. Understand new impact topics, and strategically position your business for enhanced social and environmental performance.
The B Corp standard is an increasingly popular accreditation awarded to companies that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. There are now nearly 10,000 B Corp companies across 102 countries, and that number has grown rapidly in recent years.
The B Corp standard is managed by the nonprofit organization B Lab in conjunction with 15 partner organisations around the world. To achieve the standard, companies have to show ethical performance and positive impacts in seven areas of their business, including governance, climate action, working conditions, human rights and environmental stewardship.Â
In this course, we explore what B Corp status means and how it is achieved. The B Corp assessment standard was revised in 2025, and this course covers the new requirements.
Topics covered include:
•   The background to the B Corp standard and the benefits of certification
•   Criticisms that have been raised relating to the standard
•   The changes in the B Corp standard for the 2025 revision
•   How company size, location and sector impact the assessment for B Corp status
•   The seven areas covered by the B Corp assessment
•   The B Corp assessment, evaluation and verification processes
The course gives a short and concise quick-start guide to B Corp certification. Whether your company is considering applying for B Corp status or you are just interested in what it means, this course is for you.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
