ElektraOS is registered on B Lab's V2.2 assessment platform since 2026-04-24 (company 450308). This page tracks our progress honestly against the two real gates: Foundation Requirements (eligibility + legal structure) and Impact Topic Requirements. Certification is not yet awarded, so we do not claim it. We show what we are doing to earn it.
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 organised into two gates. Gate 1 - Foundation Requirements: an Eligibility screen (ineligible industries and practices) plus Legal Requirements (each legal entity adopts stakeholder-governance language in its charter). Gate 2 - Impact Topic Requirements: you must pass the sub-requirements in every applicable Impact Topic, not collect points. 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.
This is the real first hurdle. Before any Impact Topic is scored, the BIA screens for ineligible industries or practices, then requires each legal entity to adopt stakeholder-governance language in its charter. For ElektraOS the Eligibility screen is clean; the Legal gate is the blocker because we have no operating entity yet with amended governing docs.
Industries excluded: electric utilities/power generation, fossil fuels, gambling, pornography, prisons/detention (incl. labour), tobacco, weapons. Ineligible practices cover severe legal or regulatory E-S-G violations (scale, scope, remedy, repeat-offence). ElektraOS: none of these apply.
Every operating entity must amend its governing documents so directors are accountable to workers, communities and the environment - not just shareholders. ElektraOS.dev shows "Pending entity setup" on B Lab because no legal vehicle carries our operations yet.
V2.2 globally defines seven Impact Topics. The BIA scopes which apply based on company size, sector and geography. For ElektraOS's current scope (solo founder, software, pre-revenue), the platform surfaces six applicable topics. Fair Work is not in scope at our current headcount but will activate as we hire.
Three sub-requirements in scope. PSG 1.1: public purpose. PSG 2.1: mechanism to involve stakeholders in decisions. PSG 3.1: publicly accessible grievance procedure.
Equity discount (40 percent off for under-represented founders, women-led, youth-led, first-year startups under GBP 500k ARR) is the structural answer. Self-declare then verify.
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.
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.
Every Loomgraph and ElektraOS deployment picks lowest-carbon region within latency budget. LHR is our current primary (low carbon) for UK/EU traffic. Audit + document the decision framework.
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.
V2.2's seventh topic covers living wage, worker voice and safe conditions. Not triggered for solo-founder scope. Hub leads are independent partners on a 70/30 revenue split with no non-compete; that structure ports directly into Fair Work compliance once we hire direct staff.
9-article commitment pact live at /smb/governance/. Legal anchor for fair pricing, data residency, hub compact.
Company 450308 created. Scoping complete (solo founder, software, Denmark HQ, pre-revenue). Foundation Requirements and Impact Topic structure walked in preview mode. Submission locked pending legal entity setup.
Publish cloud/LLM/payment vendors list with selection criteria. AI safety review templates for every new agent.
Measure Fly.io + Render emissions for all deployments. Publish baseline numbers.
Incorporate Dutch foundation. Lock mission in charter. Stichting holds IP and governance, ApS/Ltd operate locally.
Number of hub leads, clients served, equity discounts applied, revenue split, uptime, and incidents. All numbers, no spin.
File with B Lab. Verification period 3-6 months. Certification expected by late 2027.

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.
