25 B Corps in the Netherlands (+ how to become one yourself)

Sustainable business is no longer just a trend—it’s the future. More and more companies are choosing to do business differently: in a way that balances profit with care for people and the planet.

These companies unite that mission under the B Corp label. In the Netherlands, dozens of businesses have already been certified. But who are they, and what makes them truly sustainable?

What is a B Corp?

A B Corp (short for Benefit Corporation) is an internationally recognized certification for companies that operate with respect for people, the environment, and society. The label is issued by the nonprofit organization B Lab and represents a new standard for responsible business.

B Corps distinguish themselves by:

  • Transparency about their social and environmental impact

  • A legally anchored mission that goes beyond profit

  • Accountability to employees, customers, community, and the planet

There are now over 8,000 certified B Corps worldwide, and the number is growing fast—especially in the Netherlands.

How do you become a B Corp?

The certification process is thorough but highly valuable. Here’s how it works:

  1. Complete the B Impact Assessment – Score your company across five categories: governance, workers, community, environment, and customers.

  2. Earn at least 80 points – Only companies that demonstrate measurable positive impact are certified.

  3. Verification by B Lab – Your answers are reviewed and supported with documents and interviews.

  4. Amend your legal structure (for Dutch BVs) – Legally anchor your purpose in your company statutes.

  5. Pay an annual fee – Scaled to your company’s revenue.

  6. Recertify every 3 years – To show continuous improvement and commitment.
