Here’s how it breaks down: ***Time investment*** from you and your (B) team**:** * **⏰ 0.5 - 2.5 hrs per week for group sessions** (varies per week) * **⏰ 2 - 8 hrs per week for implementing improvements and action items. This time investment differs a lot per company and depends largely on your current status on the B Corp standards.** ## 💰All-in-1 *price*. Transparent and fair. We offer a fixed package for a fixed price. We believe in fair pricing; to smaller companies, we give a discount to make it more accessible.  ### Standaard price: € 11,000 For small and medium-sized companies (10–60 employees). The price depends on the size of your organisation and the final number of participants. ### Micro price: € 6,500 To make it accessible for everyone, we offer a special price for small companies (1–9 employees or <2M turnover). ### >60 employees? For all companies with more than 60 employees, we recommend a tailored individual program. Let’s discuss the details together! Prices include group and individual sessions. Prices do not include VAT. See further[* B Lab's pricing overview for certification and annual fee*](https://bcorporation.eu/become-a-b-corp/pricing/). ## One more time, *what will you get* * ✅** *****A framework to guide you***. Structure, clear deadlines and accountability to keep your B Corp application on track so it doesn't get lost in the daily hustle of your business. * ✅** *****Lots of knowledge and experience*****.** We know the B Corp standards like the back of our hand and work closely with B Lab, so we’re always up to date with the latest developments. * ✅ ***A group of like-minded people*** with a huge drive to make more impact. Trust us, this combination is magical.  * ✅ ***We make it fun***! A certification process may seem boring (and yes, sometimes it really is), but we turn it into an enjoyable and inspiring journey: we promise! ![](/_astro/leaves-side.pSVmqBEE.svg) ![](https://www.datocms-assets.com/119351/1706710759-jozien-ripping.png?auto=format\&w=200\&ar=1:1\&dpr=2\&fit=crop\&crop=faces) ## What are you waiting for? 👀 *Join us* for the next edition 🤍 Drop me an email or schedule a call to get to know us and learn more about the programme 🙋🏼‍♀️ [Schedule a meeting with Jozien](https://www.nododos.nl/api/content/en/meet/jozien.md) [Call Jozien Ripping on +31623256784](tel:+31623256784 "Call Jozien Ripping on +31623256784")[Send Jozien Ripping an email to jozien+contact@nododos.nl](mailto:jozien+contact@nododos.nl "Send Jozien Ripping an email to jozien+contact@nododos.nl")
