Behind the Scenes of the B Corp Certification Process: 2 key steps deciphered

Following our previous presentation detailing the different stages of the Meelo certification process, we would like to highlight two stages which aroused a certain apprehension on our part: the active phase of the audit and the interview with the auditor, by adopting a tone more formal, while retaining a certain enthusiasm.
B Corp certification

The first steps of B Corp certification: A demanding audit 

The process begins with a rigorous audit during which Meelo must not only deepen its answers to around fifty questions, but also provide tangible evidence of its commercial, social and environmental practices. A palpable energy is manifested in the need to delve deeper into each answer, to reveal the behind-the-scenes of the company and to translate all the documents, because the audit takes place in English. Opting for this language allows us to reduce processing times by an auditor, particularly in the international context of our activity.

Thus, adapting our documents guarantees their understanding on a global scale. At this stage, the objective is to answer with the greatest precision the questions of the auditor, who progressively validates the answers while adjusting the number of points associated with them. For our part, no loss of points during the audit, total satisfaction!  

 

The caring interview: understanding the essence of Meelo 

The evaluation interview transforms into a scene where the listener, imbued with kindness, seeks to fully understand Meelo's activities. It’s a moment where palpable energy morphs into an inspiring narrative of the company’s mission, values ​​and motivations for embracing CSR certification.  

The auditor carefully explores Meelo's specific choice to adopt  B Corp certification . The reasons behind this decision become the thread of the conversation, highlighting the importance of positive impact and sustainability in the company's overall strategy.

 

Deepening in French specificities 

The energy transforms into an in-depth analysis of French specificities. The healthcare system, the obligations of companies, data protection according to the GDPR – every aspect is examined with a careful eye. The caring listener seeks to understand how Meelo fits into the French social fabric while maintaining its commitments to CSR.  

It is a journey towards public recognition of Meelo's sincere commitment to social responsibility. The palpable energy of each step is the driving force behind this achievement, highlighting that B Corp certification is much more than a seal – it is a celebration of a company that embraces the energy of positive change .
