YOUR NEXT STEP
Schedule a call to identify how US² can support your JEDI goals
B Lab’s JEDI Standards ask companies to take intentional action across their foundations, workplaces, and communities. We’ll help you understand where support will create the most meaningful impact.
Build the Foundation
Clarify priorities using worker and constituent feedback, organizational data, local context, and the barriers most relevant to your organization.
Within the Workplace
Strengthen inclusive hiring, leadership diversity, mentoring and sponsorship, accessible communications, inclusive language, and workplace culture.
Beyond the Workplace
Advance supplier diversity, community impact, constituent engagement, and more inclusive products, programs, and/or services.
The exact requirements and number of actions required vary by company context and size, as determined within the JEDI standards.
Why "Constituent"?
While B Lab uses the term stakeholder, we intentionally use constituent. We recognize that some have questioned the historical associations of stakeholder, and constituent better reflects our commitment to dignity, belonging, and people first.

What working with US² looks like
Our AWE approach helps organizations move from intention to implementation, and from a framework on paper to meaningful organizational practice.
AWARENESS
Collect data → Understand
WISDOM
Develop strategy → Implement
EMPOWERMENT
Measure → Improve
Moving organizations beyond simple data collection into lasting, measurable cultural transformation.
Most B Corps don’t struggle with believing in belonging. They struggle with operationalizing it.
The JEDI Standards are more than a framework on paper. They are an opportunity to make human dignity visible in how your organization leads, makes decisions, and serves its people and communities.
US² helps bridge the gap between intention and implementation through curiosity, candor, psychological safety, accountability, and action; turning values into everyday leadership practices, organizational systems, and measurable impact.
