The 2026 B Corp recertification is a different test. Know where your claims fall short before the assessor does.

Recertifying under the new standard is not a tougher version of the old one. It is a different model. The 80‑point score is gone. Now you have to clear a bar in every impact area and back it with evidence a verifier will check. For most B Corps the hard part is not the work — it is knowing where your public claims fall short of the new bar before the formal review finds it.

"The most detailed and in-depth analysis I have come across. So useful not just for B Corps, but for any organisation recertifying under the new standard, to know in advance where they are lacking."

What makes the new standard harder

The flexible 80‑point score is gone. You have to clear a bar in every impact area, with no covering a weak area with a strong one.

It is evidence and verification led now, not self‑assessment. Your public claims have to stand up to a third party.

Requirements are tailored to your size and sector, so it is new ground — not a refresh of last cycle.

What HowLegit does for your recert

We read your public claims and reporting against what the new standard actually asks for.

We show you exactly where the gaps are: the specific claim, on the specific page, with the evidence gap, and what to fix.

Confidential. The findings are yours. Nothing is published.

Built to hand to your team and your B Corp consultant, so the prep goes only where it is needed.

What we are, and are not

We are not your B Corp assessor and we do not do the verification. We find the gaps and give you a head start on closing them, so you and your consultant spend effort where it counts.
