As a certified B Corp and Public Benefit Corporation, Payactiv is accountable; we balance purpose and profit by considering the impact of our decisions on workers, customers and communities.
Is Payactiv a Certified B Corporation?
Yes. Payactiv is a Certified B Corporation. B Corp Certification is administered by B Lab and assesses companies against applicable standards for social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
What is a Public Benefit Corporation?
A Public Benefit Corporation is a for-profit company whose legal structure includes a stated public-benefit purpose alongside financial performance. The exact obligations depend on the company’s jurisdiction, governing documents, and applicable corporate law.
Are a B Corp and a Public Benefit Corporation the same thing?
