Mailbag: Unpacking the New 14-Step B Corp Certification Process

In this episode, Ryan and Emmy dig into the newly released 14-step B Corp certification process and make sense of what companies can expect as the standards shift. They walk through each phase in plain language, highlight what has changed, and offer practical context on where organizations tend to feel overwhelmed. Along the way, they share their own reactions and insights as they sort through the details together.

If you’re trying to understand how the new process works, what to prioritize, or how to get started without feeling buried, this episode gives you a clearer view of what’s ahead and how to navigate it more confidently.
