B Corp Clinic
The B Corp Clinic connects students to aspiring B Corporations to help them improve their environmental and social impact as part of the B Impact Teams initiative.
Celebrating 5 Years of Impact!
We’ve come a long way since our first B Corp Clinic in 2015 – check it out below!
From 2015 to 2023 we’ve engaged 480 students from 7 different universities. We’ve had graduate and undergraduate students from across the state lead 102 clinic projects with local and global companies. As a result of the clinic, over 2,500 points towards B Corp Certification have been awarded and 34 companies have become certified B Corporations! See more below about how we’ve continued that impact, recently wrapping up our 18th semester and 102nd project!
Get Involved
Have you ever wondered how companies become B Corps? B Corps—like Warby Parker, New Belgium Brewing, and Patagonia—are “for-profit companies certified by the nonprofit B Lab to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.” For the last seven years, the NC State B Corp Clinic, a multi-school collaborative program has helped North Carolina companies strengthen their social and environmental impact by working with teams of graduate students from across NC State.

Stay Connected
Companies are matched with a team of students (intentionally designed to include students from multiple schools and disciplines) to go through the assessment process and identify strategies they can take to improve their B Corp scores. Students gain hands-on consulting experience and the chance to learn about social and environmental impact assessment and sustainable business models. Over the last seven years, the NC State B Corp Clinic has worked on 102 projects with North Carolina companies, to help them make progress towards B Corp certification, working with over 480 graduate and undergraduate students from universities across the state.
