We’re proud to be a Certified B Corporation™: a company that demonstrates positive social and environmental impact. In honor of National B Corp month, we sat down with Greg, our Materials and Sustainability Analyst to find out exactly what it means to be a B Corp and why it matters.
What does being B Corp Certified mean?
Being a B Corporation means that Purely Elizabeth meets the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility, transparency, and ethical business practices. It signifies that our decisions positively impact our employees, customers, communities, and the planet. The certification is a testament to how we do business, including everything from ingredient sourcing, sustainability efforts, to how we treat our employees and give back to the community.
Why does being a B Corp™ matter to you and the Purely Elizabeth team?
Being a B Corp matters to our team because it aligns with our core values—creating delicious, nutritious foods while making a positive impact on the world. While in graduate school studying sustainability, I learned that the B Corp certification is a great identifier for companies that actually have sustainability baked into their DNA. At Purely Elizabeth, sustainability is an integral part of the business and I love being able to apply my knowledge of sustainability to support larger goals for the business
Why are you proud to work for a certified B Corp company?
