Certification prep tracker . V2.2 standards

Path to B Corp certification.

ElektraOS is committing to B Corp certification under the V2.2 standards (published by B Lab in February 2026, the current version for first-time applicants). This page tracks our progress honestly. Certification is not yet awarded, so we do not claim it. We do show what we are doing to earn it.

Target filing: Q2 2027 . building the evidence base

What is V2.2.

B Lab published V2.0 of its impact standards in April 2025, V2.1 in August 2025, and the current V2.2 update in February 2026. First-time applicants submit on V2.2 from March 2026 onwards.

Unlike the legacy points-based B Impact Assessment model, V2.2 uses minimum performance requirements across seven impact topics. You pass all seven or you do not certify. The bar also rises over a 5-year certification cycle with mandatory checkpoints at Year 0, Year 3 and Year 5.

We are preparing against V2.2 directly because it aligns with our operating reality: a small AI-native company with a global hub network, serving SMBs in mature and emerging markets. The newer standard takes supply chain, AI governance, and environmental accounting seriously.

The seven impact topics.

01 . Purpose + Stakeholder Governance In progress

Mission locked in legal docs

Stichting (NL foundation) is the planned vehicle. Charter will encode fair pricing, hub compact, equity discount, and no-sale-to-big-tech clauses.

  • Governance Pact v1 published 2026-04-24
  • Stichting filing: target Q4 2026
  • Stakeholder advisory board: forming
02 . Fair Work Strong

Hub leads get 70 percent of revenue

No non-compete. 90-day exit. No monthly fee. Fair Work is structurally baked into the hub model before we had to think about it for certification.

  • 70/30 revenue split documented
  • No non-compete clauses anywhere
  • Transparent equity discount: 40%
03 . Justice, Equity, Diversity + Inclusion In progress

Equity discount is the baseline

40 percent off for under-represented founders, women-led, youth-led, and first-year startups under GBP 500k ARR. Self-declare then verify. Published transparent eligibility rules.

  • Equity discount rules public
  • Cohort 25% reserved seats for equity-tier
  • Diversity report: commit to annual publication
04 . Climate Action Pending

Emissions measurement before reduction

We run on Fly.io and Render. Step one: audit carbon intensity of our deployment regions. Step two: commit to science-based targets. Step three: publish annual CO2 numbers.

  • Scope 1/2 baseline: pending Q3 2026
  • Scope 3 methodology: TBD
  • SBT commitment: target Q1 2027
05 . Environmental Stewardship + Circularity Pending

Data centre region selection

Every Loomgraph and ElektraOS deployment picks lowest-carbon region within latency budget. LHR is our current primary (low carbon) for UK/EU traffic. Need to audit + document the decision framework.

  • Fly.io region carbon audit: pending
  • Renewable PPA verification: pending
  • Water usage: N/A (no on-prem)
06 . Human Rights In progress

Supply chain: we build most of it ourselves

Human rights exposure mostly lives in our cloud and LLM vendors. We commit to publishing a vendor register and avoiding providers with documented violations. AI safety review for every agent.

  • Vendor register: Q2 2026 publication target
  • AI safety review framework: v0 draft
  • Labour standards: all work direct-hire
07 . Government Affairs + Collective Action In progress

EU AI Act early compliance

We signed up for the Danish regulatory sandbox (Datatilsynet + Digitaliseringsstyrelsen) and will publish our Annex IV dossier publicly once the first cohort completes. Regulatory cooperation over lobbying.

  • Copenhagen sandbox: application pending
  • EU AI Act dossier: v1 drafted
  • No political donations: committed

Why we publish this page before we are certified.

Most B Corp pages go live the day a company passes the assessment. We are publishing ours now, during prep, because the governance pact commits us to transparency. If we quietly dropped B Corp later, this page would make that visible.

If something here is inaccurate or a commitment slips, email us and we will either correct it or explain what changed. That is the deal.
