Why Should You Work With a B Corp Solar Installer?

Choosing a Certified B Corporation for your solar needs offers homeowners a distinct advantage. These businesses prioritize a balance between purpose and profit, legally committing to consider the broader impact of their decisions. By opting for a B Corp, homeowners support a company that adheres to the highest standards of social and environmental performance, ensuring transparency and accountability.

B Corps, leaders in sustainable business, actively address societal challenges, from reducing inequality and poverty to promoting a healthier environment. Opting for solar solutions from a B Corp aligns homeowners with a global movement for positive change, using their choices to contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable economy. In essence, being part of the B Corp community means connecting your solar investment with a greater purpose, promoting positive impacts for employees, communities, and the environment.

B-Corp Certification

B Corp Certification doesn’t just evaluate a product or service; it assesses the overall positive impact of the company that stands behind it. And increasingly, that’s what people care most about.

Certified B Corporations achieve a minimum verified score on the B Impact Assessment—a rigorous assessment of a company’s impact on its workers, customers, community, and the environment—and make their B Impact Report transparent on bcorporation.net. Certified B Corporations also amend their legal governing documents to require their board of directors to balance profit and purpose.

The combination of third-party validation, public transparency, and legal accountability help Certified B Corps build trust and value. B Corp Certification is administered by the non-profit B Lab.

The B-Corp Declaration of Interdependence

We envision a global economy that uses business as a force for good.

This economy is comprised of a new type of corporation – the B Corporation – which is purpose-driven and creates benefit for all stakeholders, not just shareholders.

As B Corporations and leaders of this emerging economy, we believe:

  • That we must be the change we seek in the world.
  • That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered.
  • That, through their products, practices, and profits, businesses should aspire to do no harm and benefit all.
  • To do so requires that we act with the understanding that we are dependent upon another and thus responsible for each other and future generations.
