A global movement, locally grown

Welcome to our B Local community

B Local Bay Area is a place-based community of Certified B Corporations® led by passionate volunteers. At the core of every B Local are Certified B Corporations® — for-profit companies using the power of business to transform the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet.

B Locals exist to create connections, champion the stakeholder economy, increase the positive impact of their B Corp community, and raise awareness of the B Corp movement. Be part of our community — take action with us.

B Corp’s pillars for change

We know a better world is both possible and urgently needed. We see historic momentum for making deep changes to the current business system—change powered by businesses acting together through the B Corp movement. Learn more about B Corp’s Theory of Change here.

Racial Equity

True racial justice requires listening and learning. It means doing the work to dismantle unjust policies and practices, and building more just business models and organizations. It means showing up as imperfect partners and embracing vulnerability with bravery, humility and compassion.

Climate Justice

There is no planet B: Humanity depends on our planet to survive and the planet depends on humanity. Healing our home requires ending win/lose practices that provide wins for businesses and losses for the planet and its most vulnerable people.

Stakeholder Economy

People and the planet must be of equal, or higher, value than short-term profits. In this new paradigm, businesses that help all communities heal and thrive are rewarded. A stakeholder-centered economy is the triple bottom line in action, a system in which human and environmental well-being are essential.
