  • Why has B Lab decided to evolve the B Leader Program and Training?

    B Lab is transitioning its B Leader programs into a unified European wide B Corp Consultants Program to align with the updated B Lab Standards (Version 2.1) and to strengthen our consultancy ecosystem across Europe. This evolution supports:

      • Higher consistency in how consultants support companies in their B Corp journey
      • Alignment with B Lab’s new certification standards
      • A shared, professionalized framework for all consultants across Europe
      • Improved learning tools through the B Lab Learning Platform, including deeper practical content and ongoing support from B Lab
      • Greater credibility and recognition for all professionals supporting companies on their B Corp journey
    • Continuous shared learning through the B Corp Consultants community, allowing close collaboration with like-minded consultants across Europe

    This shift reflects B Lab’s commitment to raising the bar and ensuring all consultants operate with the most up to date, high-quality training. The knowledge and expertise of today’s B Leaders forms the foundation for this new phase.

  • What is the purpose of unifying professional networks under the new B Corp Consultants Program?

    The B Corp movement is entering a new phase and needs a consulting community that is globally aligned, well-trained, and consistent in quality.

    Unifying the programs will:

    • Create one harmonized professional program across Europe
    • Strengthen collaboration, shared learning, recognition, and alignment
    • Ensure all consultants meet the requirements of B Lab Standards V2.1
    • The previous B Leader programs across Europe are now discontinued as we introduce the B Corp Consultants Program, establishing a unified and enhanced framework for professional development and support within our community.

    Starting December 2025, we are excited to launch the unified B Corp Consultant Program, starting with the Retraining Pathway, especially designed for current B Leaders. After this, we will roll out the community features throughout the first half of 2026.
