From Overwhelmed to Empowered: Get the knowledge, tools, and support to complete B Corp recertification

The B Keeper Support Group, built on the foundation of the first-of-its-kind New Standards Study Group, breaks new ground to help B Keepers learn about the B Corp standards, put together an action plan, and jump-start implementation with both proven and cutting-edge tools. This unique program gives you direct access to a recognized B Corp expert to take you from understanding the standards all the way through to completing them.

In the inaugural cohort, 100% of surveyed participants reported greater clarity on the new requirements and reduced their anxiety about the transition to the B Corp standards.

“The New Standards Study Group was an invaluable resource for Clif Family Winery as we prepare for recertification under the new standards.

Like many B Corps, we felt some anxiety about the scope and depth of the new requirements. Carolina’s guidance transformed that uncertainty into clarity and confidence.

Her program broke down the complex framework into approachable, actionable steps while also creating a supportive space to learn from peers. The sessions not only deepened our understanding of the standards but also helped us see new opportunities to strengthen our impact practices.


Thanks to Carolina’s expertise, I left the study group with both the knowledge and the confidence to move forward. For any B Corp navigating the new standards, I cannot recommend this course enough—it is a critical tool for turning the challenge of recertification into a chance to grow and thrive.”

“I can't say enough about how helpful the New Standards Study Group was!

Handsome Brook Farms's recertification is scheduled for mid-year in 2027. Since our last recertification, the organization has grown significantly and we've gone through restructuring, so we've all been anxious about how the new standards would impact our recertification application. The certification process can be overwhelming, and with the new standards being over 1000 pages long, we didn't really know where to start assessing where we'd need to develop new processes or put new policies in place.

The materials Carolina developed for the New Standards Study Group were exceedingly helpful in allowing us to see a comparison between the old and new standards. Her group facilitation, leading us through the material and guiding discussions, gave us confidence to tackle the recertification process. It was also helpful to have a space with other organizations going through the process to voice our concerns and brainstorm ideas about how best to move forward.

Thanks for creating a great peer group for us!”

Who Should Attend?

This program is ideal for:

  • B Keepers responsible for maintaining B Corp certification
  • Internal champions who operate as a “department of one” supporting B Corp initiatives
  • Executives who want to understand the leadership responsibilties under the new standards

“The New Standards Study Group has been exactly what I needed."

The new B Corp standards felt daunting at first, but the cohort model has made the process so much more approachable. Everything is broken down piece by piece so it's far less overwhelming, and hearing from others in the group has been incredibly helpful—I’ve learned so much from their questions and insights.

Although we’ve worked with over 100 companies on previous versions of the B Impact Assessment in the NC State B Corp Clinic, I did not feel ready for the new standards until participating in the New Standards Study Group. Thank you, Carolina, for the confidence, the tools, the expertise and the community I needed!

“Carolina's New Standards Study Group was essential to solidify my ability to get our company through recertification under the new standards."

As a B Keeper with a full workload outside of B Corp, it felt overwhelming to try and understand everything within the new standards. Not only did Carolina break everything down and make it easier to understand (she is so knowledgeable), she helped me understand the systems and the platforms and provided excellent additional resources so that I could find any additional information I needed later on.
