To Canopy, “Good Business” means taking care of employees; strong, ethical, transparent leadership; policies and procedures that reflect strong values; and positive impact on our neighborhoods, communities, and environment.

The “Good” a company does means positive outcomes for all stakeholders.

The Canopy Certification is currently only available to for-profit companies incorporated in the state of Kentucky. Any type of business structure is allowed, including LLCs and others.

The Canopy Certification is different from a B Corp Certification or filing as a Public Benefit Corporation. The B Corp Certification is a globally recognized standard that uses a rigorous assessment process to produce a score by which your company can be compared to others. Our Certification is crafted specifically for Kentucky businesses to guide them through escalating levels of operationalizing their Good.

Our Certification is based on a sliding scale correlating to the revenue of your company. Check out the Pricing Table on our website to see what the cost will be to your company.

That’s great! We’d love to help you grow, measure, and amplify your Good. The Canopy Certification encourages businesses like yours to continuously look for ways to grow their impact on people, our planet, and our future. Companies enrolled in the Canopy Certification have access to resources like supporting curriculum and our Impact Reporting Tool that measures metrics on how your company has directly impacted its community and surrounding environment. And Canopy shares stories of Canopy Certified Companies doing Good across the state to inspire others. We believe that a network of socially and environmentally conscious, impact-driven businesses are stronger together.

1. We research and analyze trends in Kentucky’s business community.

3. The Canopy Certification serves as a road map to incorporate an intentional social and/or environmental mission into your business model.
