Gifts for Good Achieves B Corp™ Recertification

Gifts for Good, a premier corporate gifting platform known for integrating charitable impact into gift giving, has successfully attained B Corp™ recertification under the updated global standards set by B Lab™. Announced on November 13, 2026, this achievement places Gifts for Good among the initial group of companies meeting the new, rigorous criteria for social and environmental accountability.

The B Corp Certification signifies that organizations meet high standards for social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. With the introduction of the latest standards in April 2025, the B Corp Certification underwent its most significant transformation to date. Rather than relying solely on a scored system, the new guidelines mandate adherence to seven specific impact topics critical to ethical business practices. These areas encompass climate action, human rights, fair labor practices, and environmental stewardship. Companies are now required to showcase their compliance through independent verification while continually striving for improvement.

Laura Hertz, CEO and Co-Founder of Gifts for Good, expressed pride in meeting these new standards. She emphasized that the heart of Gifts for Good has always been giving back, highlighting the brand's commitment to creating a positive influence through its operations: "It's an honor to earn recertification under B Lab's new standards, especially as one of the early companies to complete the process," Hertz remarked. "We applaud B Lab for raising the bar and eagerly anticipate growing with this innovative community."

Initially certified as a B Corporation in 2020, Gifts for Good completed its previous recertification in 2023. This recent certification process, led by Co-Founder and Chief Impact and Operations Officer Jenise Steverding, involved thoroughly documenting the company's practices related to human rights and environmental sustainability, alongside interviews with employees and reviews of suppliers.

Steverding commented on the rigorous nature of the updated certification process, stating, "Going through the new certification was a significant endeavor, especially being among the first companies navigating these requirements. We invested months ensuring our documentation accurately reflected our practices. Being a B Corp is not simply a check-mark; it informs our daily decisions, from team support to client communications."

Gifts for Good's platform empowers businesses to contribute to non-profit organizations and social enterprises without exceeding their gifting budgets. Notably, in 2025, the company allocated an impressive $1,568,332 to various charities through its partnerships with 74 non-profit and social enterprises.

Commenting on the updated B Lab standards, Ellonda L. Williams, Co-Executive Director & Senior Director of Community, stated, "The new standards elevate expectations on how businesses showcase their dedication to social responsibility and environmental stewardship. We're proud to recognize Gifts for Good for completing the recertification process, confirming its commitment to responsible business practices. We look forward to observing how other companies adopt these new standards as they enhance their impact."
