In January 2016, the B Lab Taiwan was formally established; during March of the same year, the 2016 B Corp Asia Forum was organized. The Association has up to this point guided nearly 100 companies through the B Impact Assessment (BIA) process, and many of these companies have obtained B Corp certification after completing the assessment and implementing improvement solutions, enabling Taiwan to lead all Asian countries in B Corp growth rate. The Association moreover served as the co-organizer of the 2016 Taipei City Department of Economic Development Social Enterprise Counseling and Education Project. During project counseling, more social enterprises were able to gain a better understanding of B Corps and successfully utilize BIA indexes. 什麼是B型企業 What are B Corps? 國際B型企業實驗室（B Lab）所發起B型企業認證為一全球性運動，跳脫傳統資本主義所追求的利益最大化，以追求共享價值的最大化為目標，從公司治理、員工照顧、友善環境、社區經營與客戶影響力等五大面向評估企業，鼓勵企業追求獲利成長的同時也應兼顧環境與社會議題。 The B Corp certification process initiated by B Lab is a global movement; it breaks away from the traditional capitalist values of maximizing profit to pursue the goal of optimizing shared values. Corporations are assessed in five major aspects including governance, worker, environment, community, and customer. During the pursuit of profit growth, corporations are also encouraged to give due consideration to environmental as well as social issues. 目前B型企業風潮已橫跨全球五十個國家，共有兩千多家企業取得認證；而台灣則已有二十一家企業取得認證，認證企業數之多為亞洲第一。此外，台灣的亞太B型企業協會也是亞洲第一、全球第七個獲得正式授權成立的B Lab組織，在在表現出台灣企業追求與社會、環境共榮的創新與潛力。 Currently, the B Corp movement has reached 50 different countries throughout the world; a total of more than 2,000 B Corporations have received certifications, while Taiwan, with a total of 21 certified B Corps, has the greatest number of certifications in Asia. In addition, Taiwan's Asia Pacific B Corp Association was the first organization in Asia and seventh in the world to receive official authorization from B Lab. This fully demonstrates the potential and creativity of Taiwan's corporations to grow and prosper alongside our society and the environment.
