To achieve B-Corporation certification, our company must receive a minimum score on social and environmental performance. This is an online assessment that is overseen by the independent body that certifies B-Corporations (the B Lab). The assessment covers our entire operations and measures our impact in governance, workers, community, the environment, as well as our products and services. We also must integrate sustainability commitments to stakeholders into our governing documents.

Shoo-Foo has already started completing the B-Corp assessment. Before submission, we need to review the current content and complete a few missing sections. We would like to work with a student who is familiar with the B-Corp concept and wants to deepen their knowledge through practical experience.

The final project deliverable is a 10-page written report detailing our current score, areas for improvement, and a strategy plan for meeting the B-Corporation certification requirements within a 1-month period.

Students will connect directly with the employer for mentorship and supervision throughout the research and completion of this B-Corp assessment project.
