B Corp new standards • Purpose & Stakeholder Governance

The new B Corp standards call on businesses to embed purpose at the core of decision-making. Purpose & Stakeholder Governance shifts companies beyond a shareholder-only mindset to consider the needs of all stakeholders — employees, customers, communities, suppliers, and the environment.

It ensures that purpose becomes a guiding force for how a business operates, grows, and is held accountable. When companies prioritise stakeholders and act transparently, they strengthen trust, resilience, and long-term value.
