Our companies were assessed based on our impact on our workers, customers, community, and environment. Everything counts- from our choice of suppliers, to our carbon footprint, to the treatment of our employees and hiring processes, and so much more. Every year, we set new goals to reach in terms of being more environmentally and socially conscious and beneficial. Our assessments help us to set goals that are in fact a benefit to the world, as does the B Corporation community. It's not just a one-and-done certification; every three years we are reassessed and put through the same rigorous process as the first time.
