About B Corp Certification
Certified B Corporations™, or B Corps, are companies verified by nonprofit B Lab™ to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. To achieve certification, companies must complete the B Impact Assessment (BIA) and earn a score of over 80 points across five impact areas: Governance, Environment, Customers, Community, and Workforce. There are over 10,000 B Corp businesses globally, with over 2,400 based in the UK.
Silentnight's certification was achieved through a cross-departmental effort, with team members managing respective areas of the impact assessment and working closely with colleagues, external parties, and suppliers to gather information and implement processes and procedures.
