Gifting platform among first to meet B Lab™'s updated requirements for social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Gifts for Good, a leading corporate gifting platform that builds verified charitable impact into every gift, today announced it has earned B Corp recertification under B Lab's new global standards. Gifts for Good is among an early group of companies to earn certification under the new standards, which introduce more rigorous requirements for social and environmental performance.

B Corp Certification recognizes companies that meet B Lab Standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency. Introduced in April 2025, the new standards represent the most significant evolution of B Corp Certification in B Lab's history. They replace the previous points-based scoring system with mandatory requirements across seven impact topics, including climate action, human rights, fair work and environmental stewardship. Companies must demonstrate compliance through independent third-party verification and commit to continuous improvement.

"It's an honor to earn recertification under B Lab's new standards, especially as one of the early companies to complete the process," said Laura Hertz, CEO and Co-Founder of Gifts for Good. "Giving back has been at the heart of Gifts for Good from the beginning, and we're proud to be recognized for the work we've put into building a business that creates a positive impact. We applaud B Lab for raising the bar and look forward to continuing to grow alongside this community."

Gifts for Good first became a Certified B Corporation in 2020 and completed its previous recertification in 2023. Led by Co-Founder and Chief Impact and Operations Officer Jenise Steverding, the latest process included employee interviews, supplier reviews and extensive documentation of the company's human rights and environmental practices.

"Going through the new certification process was a significant undertaking, especially as one of the early companies navigating these requirements," said Steverding. "There was a lot to learn, and we spent months making sure we had the right information and documentation in place. I'm proud of what our team accomplished and at the end of the day, being a B Corp isn't about checking a box once a year. It's about making sure the commitments we've made show up in our everyday decisions, from how we support our team to how we communicate with clients."

Through its corporate gifting platform, the company helps businesses support nonprofits and social enterprises with their existing gifting budgets. In 2025 alone, Gifts for Good directed a record $1,568,332 to charity through its network of 74 nonprofit and social enterprise partners.

"The B Lab Standards V2 raise expectations for how businesses demonstrate their commitment to people and the planet," said Ellonda L. Williams, Co-Executive Director & Sr. Director of Community. "We're pleased to recognize Gifts for Good for successfully completing the recertification process and demonstrating its commitment to responsible business practices. As more companies transition to the new standards, we're excited to see B Corps continuing to build on their impact."
