Do I need a B Corp consultant?
No. B Lab does not require one, and many companies certify with an internal team. A consultant is worth it when you lack time or in-house expertise, have a complex structure, or want an experienced eye on judgment calls. B Lab U.S. & Canada keeps a directory of consultants if you want help.
Consultants help most with interpretation: which option to choose on a requirement, whether a policy is strong enough, how to handle a corporate family or multiple sites. They help least with the repetitive work of collecting and organizing documents, which is where most hours go.
Many companies split it: a consultant for strategy and review, and their own team (with a tool) for the evidence. Whichever you choose, B Lab decides certification and an independent assurance provider audits you, so no consultant or vendor can promise an outcome.
How Ecolytics helpsEcolytics supports all three routes: your team on its own, your team with a consultant working in the same account, or a B Academics student team. The platform is the same underneath. See it in a demo →
