B Lab is a non-profit organisation that certifies for-profit companies on their social and environmental performance, public transparency and accountability. To certify you have to complete a rigorous assessment and only if you reach a score higher than 80 over the max score of 200, you call your company a B Corp. The assessment not only evaluates the product or service, but it also assesses the overall positive impact of the company. It looks carefully how the company impacts its workers, customers and the environment.
What is B Corp
How to certify
To certify you must have a social and environmental mission, which you thoroughly assess and monitor on an annual basis. The company is also required to change their legal governing documents to ensure that decisions balance profit and purpose. Every two years companies are required to undergo reassessment. Each time B Lab makes the assessment a little bit harder, which allows companies to keep pushing for continuous improvement.

To us, B Corps are next-level companies. Making profit while using business as a force for good.
Since 2015
In 2015, MUD Jeans signed the Declaration of Interdependence, in which it is stated that companies wanting to be a B Corp must be the change we seek in the world. They 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. And last, to do so, companies must act with the understanding that we are each dependent upon another and thus responsible for each other and future generations. MUD Jeans takes all these points very seriously and therefore since 2015, as a B Corp, is committed to use business as a force for good and joins this Global Community of Leaders together with other inspiring brands such as Patagonia, Eileen Fisher and Veja.
We are proud to be a B Corp since 2015.
