Your certification now asks for evidence, not answers
B Lab's V2 standards replace self-scoring with independently verified thresholds. A claim you could once explain, you now have to evidence.
For certified brands and claim-holders with recycled-content, chain-of-custody or end-of-life claims.
What changed
Two dated changes, one consequence.
B Lab V2
The V2 standards replace self-scoring with independently verified thresholds, aligned with EmpCo. The first certifications under them were issued in June 2026.
EmpCo applies 27 September 2026
Unproven green claims are banned across the EU, with penalties reaching 4% of turnover.
The exposure
Where a claim without evidence now costs money.
Of turnover
Penalty ceiling under EmpCo, applicable 27 September 2026
Of global turnover
Ceiling on the direct fines the UK regulator can impose
Of green claims misleading
European Commission screening; about 40% were also unsubstantiated
Why your own data is not evidence yet
Data built for internal decisions is not audit-grade evidence.
Built for decisions, not for audit
Your dashboards were built to run the business. Audit-grade evidence has to trace back to a document someone outside your company can check.
Re-certification, investors, regulators
All three now ask for the second kind. A number in a report is no longer the end of the conversation.
The evidence sits with your suppliers
The weighbridge tickets, transfer notes and lab reports behind your claim are produced upstream, by the companies that handle the material.
What we verify
Three claim types, each traced back to its documents.
Recycled content
The share of recycled material in a product, traced back to the batches it came from and the documents behind them.
Chain of custody
Who held the material at each step, from collection to finished product, with the transfer records to match.
End-of-life recovery
What happened to the material after use: collected, sorted, processed, and by whom.
How it works for a claim-holder
Point us at the claim
Tell us the claim you make in public: a recycled-content percentage, a chain-of-custody statement, a recovery rate.
We assemble the evidence
The platform reads the documents your suppliers already produce and cross-checks the claim against them, automatically.
You hold the dossier
One evidence pack per claim, ready for a re-certification interview, an investor question or a regulator.
Built for a small team
No project, no headcount, no clean-data prerequisite.
No IT project
We work from the documents your suppliers already send you. Nothing to install on your side.
Unlimited users
No per-user fee. Your sustainability lead, your legal risk-owner and your auditor work in the same place.
Mapped in days
Your claim is mapped to the evidence behind it in days, not quarters.
Start with a Proof of Value
A short Proof of Value on your own documents comes first.
Proof
Two ends of the same evidence chain.
