In order to be eligible for consideration for inclusion in Best for the World 2022 lists, a company must: (1) Be a Certified B Corporation by the 1st of June 2022, and (2) be in good standing, not having any outstanding legal or financial requirements. Change Finance was awarded Best for the World in 2022 in the Customers category for receiving scores in those categories in the top 5% of more than 1,000 companies with 1-9 employees.
