Neuilly sur Seine, September 2026 – Opella, the global consumer healthcare company behind worldleading brands including Allegra, Buscopan, and Doliprane, has recertified globally as a B Corporation™ under B Lab’s New Standards V2, the most rigorous evolution of the B Corp framework to date. The move extends the leadership Opella established in April 2025, when it became the first global consumer healthcare company to achieve B Corp Certification.
B Lab’s New Global Standards require businesses to take meaningful action across seven key Impact Topics. 1Companies must now meet the requirements of every topic, with performance confirmed by independent third-party assurance, on a continuous five-year certification cycle.
For Opella, the certification is a third-party validation of embedded sustainability action which demonstrates an integrated, stakeholder-driven business model accountable to people, planet, and profit.
Marissa Saretsky. Chief Sustainability Officer, Opella:
When we first certified, we said it was only the beginning. Recertifying under B Lab’s new and more demanding standards is how we demonstrate we meant it.
Opella first achieved Global B Corp Certification following a four-year transformation that certified all of its entities across North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Since then, the company has launched its new sustainability strategy, Health3 , which includes net-zero targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a commitment to a 58.8% absolute reduction in Scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 2034, and a 90% reduction by 2050 against a 2023 baseline
Clay Brown, Chief Standards Officer, B Lab:
For a global healthcare company of this size, Opella’s recertification on the new B Lab Standards demonstrates what credible commitment can look like at scale. These standards raise the bar for what it means to be a Certified B Corporation today, and Opella’s leadership in embracing accountability and independently verified business practices will strengthen our movement’s work of transforming the economy to benefit people, communities, and the planet
As a certified B Corp, Opella is proud to be part of a community working together for change, taking part in collective action to advocate for a shared goal of a global economy that benefits people and the planet
