Abstract: This work develops a systematic literature review on the B Corp movement. Fifty articleswere identified in the Web of Science and Scopus databases until 2020. Results show that it is anincipient field with great potential. There are two topics repeatedly addressed in the analyzedpublications: the motivations of companies to be certified, and the economic and social effects thatoccur after certification. Sustainability is currently the reference journal in the field, since it haspublished a total of five articles. Finally, several lines of future work are proposed, such as thecontribution of B Corp companies to the SDGs; the development of case studies on the certificationprocess itself; and the development of methods for measuring social impact
