We Are Now A Certified B Corporation™!
Well folks, it’s official — LINK PBC is a Certified B Corporation™!
Since receiving Pending B Corp status in December 2025, we’ve been hard at work. On January 1, 2026, exactly one year after LINK PBC opened, we submitted our application for full B Corp certification. This spring we completed the preliminary evaluation, which confirmed our legal structure and defined our verification pathway. After entering the verification queue, we worked with a B Lab analyst through a series of focused review calls to verify documentation on our financials, our operations, and our worker utilization.
We reviewed and upheld our impact business models (IBMs) by demonstrating our commitments to formally consider stakeholders at every level of decision making (Mission Locked), to dedicate a minimum of 5% of working hours to pro-bono projects (Designed to Give), to prioritize purpose-driven businesses as our clients and partners (Support for Underserved or Purpose-Driven Enterprises), and to ensure our product development work continues to benefit the lives of in-need, at-risk, and underserved populations (Serving In Need Populations).
These impact business models, together with strong baseline scores in the areas of governance, workers, community, environment, and customers, yielded an overall score of 97.4 and earned us our place in the B Corp community. We’re thrilled to be a part of this movement, and are grateful to be joining with a deeper understanding of ourselves and a sharper focus on what drives us: doing meaningful design work for organizations committed to making an impact.
We’ll take a moment to pause and celebrate this milestone for the accomplishment that it is. It is a result of diligent and sustained effort over the past 18 months to which we’ve devoted hundreds of hours (273 hours, to be exact). The process has been intensive and has forced us to be deliberate about how we structure our growing company. It has been a guiding heartbeat as we’ve hired employees, onboarded clients, and explored meaningful ways to give back to our community.
And then the work continues, B Corp Certification has always been a milestone, not the finish line. We’ll honor our commitments, integrate B Lab standards into everyday decisions, and continuously pursue where we can do better. In the months and years ahead, we’ll advance our operational sustainability, strengthen our responsible supply chain, nurture our amazing team, and continue to grow the responsible design community. We’re eager to engage fully with B Local Colorado, learn from other B Corps, and utilize our momentum into measurable impact for our team, our clients, and our community.
