Gener8tor has earned a B Corp Certification from the nonprofit B Lab, the organization announced recently.

According to a release, the certification requires an in-depth review of a business’s social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency. Since its beginning, the accelerator has helped more than 1,000 startups raise more than $1.4 billion in funding, with 40% of the startups having female founders and 45% having founders of color.

“Our mission at gener8tor has always been to help communities invest in themselves by providing access to capital across race, place and gender and doing right by doing good,” gener8tor Co-Founder Joe Kirgues said in a statement. “We see becoming a Certified B Corp as a natural way to cement our commitment to that mission.”

While applying for the certification, gener8tor updated its internal policies to heighten its focus on environmental sustainability and refined its onboarding and training processes.
