A Certified B Corporation® Business
World of Books Group are proud to be a B Corp™
Businesses need to achieve a minimum verified score of 80 points on the B Impact Assessment—a rigorous test of how our operations and business model impact our people, community, environment, and customers. World of Books Group exceeded this standard, in our first three years we scored 84.8 - after our recertification in 2023 we have reached a score of 102.
B Corp certification is managed by B Lab. B Lab is a non-profit that serves a global movement of entrepreneurs, using the power of business to solve social and environmental issues. Its vision is that all businesses across the globe will measure and manage their impact with the same attention as they do to profit.
To maintain our B Corp certification, we need to continue documenting our positive impact to qualify and undergo re-certification every three years.
