Choco4Peace B-Corporation Certification Plan

To achieve B-Corporation certification, our company must receive a minimum score on social and environmental performance. This is an online assessment that is overseen by the independent body that certifies B-Corporations (the B Lab). The assessment covers our entire operations and measures our impact in governance, workers, community, the environment, as well as our products and services. We also must integrate sustainability commitments to stakeholders into our governing documents.  A rough assessment of our current score has already been conducted and areas of focus have been identified so that we can prepare to seek certification for the first time. We now need someone to help us draft policies for our staff and our value chains. Work with the Partnership and Growth Director to: Conduct research on similar companies with B-Corp status in order to develop a strategy plan, and prioritize areas of focus. Draft policies and implementation strategies to achieve the threshold score for B-Corporation certification and assign tasks to various team members in Asana where necessary. Develop a (no more than 10-page) written report and a presentation detailing our current score, areas for improvement, policies to implement, and a strategy plan for meeting the B-Corporation certification requirements within a 1-month period.
