Case Study: B Corp & EcoVadis Gold Within A Year

May 2025

Client Profile:
A California-based small business in the professional services sector.

Challenge:
They wanted to have both B Corp certification and EcoVadis in the same year but they had not done either before, and the senior management had limited bandwidth.

Our Approach:
We consolidated sustainability documentation, aligned ESG policies with multiple certification requirements, and streamlined responses to cover both B Corp and EcoVadis standards.

Result:
The client earned an EcoVadis Gold Medal, placing them in the top 5% of companies worldwide. A few months later, they also got B Corp certified, with 93.7 points, way above the required 80 points!

Key Takeaways:

• Clients increasingly expect sustainability certifications, even from small service-based businesses.

• Multiple certifications can be managed efficiently with a structured documentation repository.

• Sustainability certifications are a competitive advantage in RFPs and business development.
