B Corp evidence should not be treated as a product-level sustainability label. Product claims still need product-level support.
Certified entity
Before using B Corp wording in an Amazon listing or CPF evidence file, check whether the certified entity matches the brand owner, seller, or authorized company behind the target SKU.
New standards evidence
B Lab's new standards move toward Foundation Requirements and multiple impact topics, including Purpose and Stakeholder Governance, Climate Action, Fair Work, Human Rights, and other required areas.
Legal requirement
B Lab states that Certified B Corporations are legally required to consider the impact of decisions on stakeholders, a model known as stakeholder governance. Keep legal requirement files separate from product certificates.
Product-claim boundary
B Corp does not replace product-level evidence. Organic cotton, recycled content, energy-efficiency, carbon-related wording, and ingredient claims need their own supporting files.
Suggested evidence folders
Create four folders: certified entity, new standards evidence, legal requirement, and listing wording.
