SO, WHAT IS A B CORP? AND WHY DID WE DECIDE TO SIGN UP?

Certified B Corporations are businesses that meet the highest standards of social and environmental impact, and are evaluated based on several criteria, including governance, workers, community, environment and customers. B CORP is a global network, and in the UK there are around 200 of us. 

As a business we are responsible for the impact that we have, and that we care about the planet and the people who live on it.  To be certified as a B CORP means that we are held accountable by a recognised network and that we stay focused on our mission to fight food waste as we grow.

Here are some words from Emilie & Deepak:

“We could not be more thrilled to be a B CORP and join a growing community of businesses who believe that doing the right thing makes good business sense. As a B CORP, we’re provided with a great framework to measure ourselves against, ensuring that we’re always balancing our purpose, profit, and impact on the planet in our fight against food waste” - ODDBOX founders

To become a B CORP, we passed a rigorous test (we started the process in 2019) to show how we meet the highest standards across five areas - governance, workers, community, environment and customers. You can see how we did here. This is just the beginning and we are committed to continuously improving our score -  we have to re-certify every three years so we will be able to track our progress.
