On background:

While a company can earn its highest score in one Impact Area relative to other sections, it does not necessarily make it a ‘high performer’ in that area. 

The B Impact Assessment is scored to measure a company's social and environmental performance, both overall and within key impact areas. Scoring evolves with each version of the B Impact Assessment, and is complex and customised based on a company’s specific track (e.g. industry and size).

Scoring in the B Impact Assessment is based on five key themes. It is:

• Objective: Determined by B Lab’s independent Standards Advisory Council

• Normalised: All companies can earn the same total points in the assessment

• Materiality Based: Determined by relative materiality of a particular topic to a company’s sector

• Outputs/Outcomes Oriented: More heavily weighted towards direct indicators of “impact”

• Balanced: Comparable scoring for Operational Impact and Impact Business Models, and across different Impact Business Models

A company may have more points in a specific impact area because of its relative materiality, and because they demonstrated direct indicators of impact. Read more here.
