AUSTRALIA & AOTEAROA
NEW ZEALAND
The B Lab team works across the lands known as Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
In Australia, we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians, and pay our respects to their Elders, past and present. We recognise the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities' strength and resilience in the face of colonisation. We honour their continuing connection to land, water, and skies, and recognise that for generations, they have lived the values we work to share: inclusivity, sustainability, and regeneration.
In Aotearoa, we pay our respects to ngā Iwi taketake, and honour the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi: protection, participation, and partnership.
Certified B Corporations are a new kind of business that balance purpose and profit.

Globally, B Corps are leading the way in using business as a force for good.
