Planet FWD builds verification-grade Scope 1, 2, and 3 inventories for Certified B Corps — in one platform, built for third-party review.
B Lab's new Climate Action standards are now being applied to recertifications on a rolling basis. Larger B Corps must measure Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, verify their GHG inventory through an accredited third party, and validate targets through SBTi or an independent verifier. For B Corps recertifying in the next 12 to 18 months, the data collection work should be underway now.

For larger B Corps, the recertification bar is now a verified Corporate Inventory across Scope 1, 2, and 3. For consumer brands, Scope 3 typically drives 70 to 90 percent of that footprint, and the spend-based methods that worked for prior cycles don't hold up at verification. Planet FWD covers all three scopes on one platform, with primary supplier data on the categories that drive most of your emissions. Product-level LCAs run on the same data, so you collect it once and use it across B Corp recertification, SBTi validation, and retailer sustainability requests.
Two situations we see in B Corp recertification conversations:
We work with both. The first conversation is the same either way — what data you have, where the gaps are, and a realistic path to recertification.
