March is globally dedicated to B Corp month. A time when companies show that business can be different: not only focused on profit but also on positive impact for people, the planet, and society.
At Happy Earth, we are proud to be part of this international movement of B Corp certified companies that believe businesses can be a force for good.
But what does B Corp certification actually mean? And why is it so important?
What is B Corp?
B Corp stands for Benefit Corporation. Companies with a B Corp certificate meet strict requirements in the areas of sustainability, transparency, and social impact.
The certification is issued by the international nonprofit organization B Lab. To become B Corp, companies must undergo a comprehensive assessment that looks at five key areas:
- Environmental impact
- Employee policies
- Customers
- Community
- Corporate governance and transparency
Only companies that demonstrably meet high standards in all these areas may call themselves B Corp certified company.
Why does B Corp exist?
Companies have a great influence on our planet. Production, raw materials, transport, and consumption all impact the environment and society.
The B Corp movement wants to show that companies can also use this influence positively. The goal is to create an economy where success is measured not only in profit but also in positive impact on the world.
Worldwide, thousands of companies are now part of the B Corp community. From small sustainable brands to large international organizations.
What does B Corp mean for Happy Earth?
For Happy Earth, the B Corp certificate means that in everything we do, we consider our impact.
It starts with our products. Our care products are developed with attention to both skin and earth.
That is why, for example, we choose:
- 100% natural ingredients

But B Corp goes beyond just products. It’s also about how we collaborate with partners, treat employees, and take responsibility as a company.
B Corp helps us make better choices every day for the world around us. And that is exactly what Happy Earth stands for.
Why B Corp month is important
