In June 2019, there were over 2,750 certified B <strong>Corp</strong>orations across 150 industries in 64<br />
countries, including Canada (78 companies), Australia, South Africa, <strong>and</strong> Afghanistan. The most<br />
active community outside of the United States is Sistema B. Since 2012, Sistema B has been the<br />
adaptation of the B <strong>Corp</strong>s movement in Latin America, including<br />
in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay <strong>and</strong> Colombia. This non-profit adapts proprietary<br />
certifications <strong>and</strong> evaluation metrics <strong>and</strong> modifies both to the context of each country. B Lab<br />
also assists Sistema B in incorporating a benefit corporation distinction into local legal systems.<br />
