A public benefit corporation is a legal business structure, while a certified B corp is a company that has received certification from the nonprofit B Lab. To become certified, a company must meet B Lab’s standards for social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. A company can be both a PBC and a certified B corp, but the two designations aren’t interchangeable.
