B Lab's most significant standards update is here, and environmental action is no longer optional for any B Corp.
Whether you're a founder-led startup or a global enterprise, every company seeking certification or recertification must now demonstrate real climate and environmental progress. The depth of what's required scales with your size, but no one is exempt.
For a breakdown of the key B Corp requirements where Everloop can support you, covering climate action, supply chain engagement, environmental impacts and circularity, including timescales and how they apply by company size, see our B Corp requirements summary >
The following guide explores what those requirements mean in practice and how Everloop can help you meet them.
1. Climate Action
GHG measurement • Science-based targets • Transition planning • Climate risk & resilience
We help you understand your emissions, build a credible decarbonisation roadmap, and set science-aligned targets, at whatever level of depth your company size requires. From a first carbon footprint for a small business to SBTi validation and TCFD reporting for large enterprises.
- Carbon footprinting across Scopes 1, 2 and material Scope 3 — giving you data you can trust and act on
- Climate Action Plan development aligned with B Corp’s 1.5°C requirement and SMART target-setting
- SBTi target-setting support — identifying highest-impact interventions and a credible trajectory
- Physical climate risk assessment — site-level and supply chain exposure across hazards including flood, drought, and heatwave
- Climate reporting readiness — B Corp, TCFD, SECR, CSRD, GRI and other frameworks
- Carbon Literacy training — building internal capability across your organisation
2. Nature Strategy
TNFD LEAP assessments • Water stewardship (AWS) • SBTN target-setting • Nature disclosures
Every business depends on nature; but most have never mapped how their operations and supply chain interact with natural systems. Our Nature Strategy service turns this from a daunting exercise into a practical, credible process: identifying your material nature risks and building a strategy to address them, scaled to your size and operational complexity.
- Nature impact and dependency assessments aligned with TNFD’s LEAP methodology
- Water footprinting and stewardship strategy following Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) methodology
- Nature target-setting using Science Based Targets for Nature (SBTN) frameworks
- Supply chain nature risk mapping — identifying where nature impacts are concentrated in your value chain
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) with beyond-carbon metrics: biodiversity, water, land use
- Nature-positive training for leadership and operational teams
3. Circularity Strategy
LCA & eco-design • Circular business model innovation · Impact metrics · ESC certification support
The new B Corp standards require demonstrable improvement in circular material use over time. Our Circularity Strategy service helps you identify where the biggest opportunities lie, build a practical strategy, and measure and communicate progress credibly - meeting ESC requirements and building a compelling impact story in the process.
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and eco-design — quantifying environmental impact and identifying circular hotspots
- Circular business model innovation: product-as-a-service, take-back schemes, closed-loop supply chains
- Circularity impact story development and KPI frameworks — turning circular activities into credible, evidenced metrics
- Material flow mapping — understanding where resources enter, move through, and leave your business
- Certification support including B Corp ESC requirements
4. Resilient Procurement
Scope 3 supply chain · Supply chain due diligence · Nature & climate risk in procurement
For many businesses, the most significant climate and nature impacts sit in the supply chain, in the materials bought, the suppliers worked with, and the logistics that connect them. The new B Corp standards increasingly require evidence of supply chain awareness and action. We help embed climate and nature resilience into procurement decisions at every scale.
- Climate and nature risk criteria for supplier assessments and questionnaires
- Supply chain mapping and environmental hotspot identification
- Procurement policy development incorporating environmental resilience
- Supplier engagement strategies for emissions reduction and nature stewardship
You have come to the place for thought leadership.
