We are delighted to share with you that, for the sixth consecutive year, we have been recognized by B Labs for being a ‘Best-for-the-World’ company! This award is given every year to those B-Corps whose score in one or several of the five B impact areas is among the top 5% in the world and recognizes our best practices and consistent efforts to positively impact all our stakeholders.
Despite having received this important recognition for the last six years, this time we are even more excited because this year we have been recognized for our efforts in the Workers category. In 2014, when we first received our B-Corp certification, we realized we needed to improve significantly in this category. We have made tremendous efforts during these 7 years to improve our impact on our employees to make their lives better, implementing many initiatives to improve our employee’s compensation, benefits, training, education, and progression opportunities, as well as the diversity and inclusion within our Company. This recognition is a testament that we are achieving our goal.
For over 20 years, making coffee better has been our mission. But this mission does not start and end only with flavor. It also means strengthening coffees power to bear fruit in the lives of growers, consumers, and everyone in between – including our employees. There is still much work to do to continue improving in many areas, but that will not stop us from doing our best to always be a ‘Best-for-the-World’ company.
