If your company is pursuing B Corp certification or simply wants to integrate more ethical and sustainable practises, crafting job descriptions that align with B Corp values is an essential step. A well-written job description helps attract mission-driven employees and ensures your company remains accountable to its social and environmental commitments.

B Corps meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. Your job descriptions should reflect these values by emphasising sustainability, diversity, and ethical business practises. This not only strengthens your company culture but also enhances your reputation as a responsible employer.

To create job descriptions that align with B Corp values, include the following elements:

1. A Clear and Purpose-Driven Job Title
   Make sure the job title reflects the role’s contribution to the company’s mission.
2. A Mission-Aligned Summary
   Start with a brief description of how the role supports your company’s broader purpose and commitment to positive impact.
3. Responsibilities with Social and Environmental Impact
   Highlight how the position contributes to sustainability efforts, ethical supply chains, or employee well-being.
4. Qualifications That Reflect Ethical and Sustainable Priorities
   Emphasise skills such as sustainability knowledge, social impact leadership, and inclusivity.
5. A Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
   Explicitly state your company’s dedication to fostering an inclusive workplace.
6. Fair Compensation and Benefits
   Ensure that compensation is equitable and aligns with B Corp values, including employee wellness initiatives.

• Use gender-neutral and inclusive language.
  • More information regarding Inclusive Language can be found in our Inclusive Language Guide. 
• Be transparent about salary and benefits to promote equity.
• Regularly review and update job descriptions to stay aligned with B Corp standards.

Writing B Corp-aligned job descriptions is a meaningful way to demonstrate your company’s commitment to responsible business practises. By clearly outlining how each role supports your mission, you’ll attract passionate employees who share your values and help drive meaningful change.
