B Revolution founder Dirk Sampselle, JD, MBA, is an expert in the B Corporation certification and benefit corporation legal entity. Here, he explains the difference between the two: 1) The B Corporation is a CERTIFICATION provided by B Lab. To achieve it, you must meet the performance requirement (earning at least 80/200 on the Impact Assessment), the legal requirement (adopting a compliant legal structure), and the compliance requirement (complying with impact reporting and maintaining a sufficient score as evaluated by the assessment). 2) The Benefit Corporation is a LEGAL ENTITY, formed through the secretary of state of a given jurisdiction. It is available in 20 states as of October, 2013. The benefit corporation legal entity has several legally important attributes, such as a public benefit purpose, a duty to consider stakeholders, and a duty to report impacts according to a third-party standard.
