B Corporation - How to B the Change we Seek

How to B the Change we Seek.

Salt Spring Coffee is a Certified B Corporation. And, we’re proud to be one of only 350 companies who’ve earned the title in North America. See our B Corp profile »

Isn’t it time we all start to B the change we seek?

B Corporation is a certification that goes beyond looking at just our coffee – it looks at the whole company and the impact that we have on our workforce, our suppliers, our community and the environment. You can think of it as a certification for sustainable business, like fair trade is to coffee or LEED is to green buildings. It’s an assessment of the whole package, not just its parts.

There are a lot of companies out there claiming to be good these days: “drink this it’s good for you, buy this it's good for the planet”. What a B Corporation does is dig a little deeper, asking why as businesses we stop at simply being good, when we can be even better. Being a Certified B Corp is about being a better employer, a better leader in our local community and a better steward of the environment.

It’s about a new type of company. One with confident leaders who have a clear vision and who put people before power and principles over personalities. Full stop. It’s not about one product.

Who else is in the Certified B Corp mix? The B Lab publishes a list of all Certified B Corps so that you can learn more about the companies that meet the same rigorous, independent and transparent standards of social and environmental performance that we do. View directory »
