Winclove Probiotics is B Corp certified
As a commercial organization we do our best for society and the protection of our planet. In 2020, we received the B Corp certificate for these efforts, and we are very proud of this. ‘B Corp’ stands for Benefit Corporation, and the certificate is awarded by B Lab. Only companies that demonstrably and continuously strive for a healthy society, a healthy economy and a healthy planet can qualify for it. Our certification followed an extensive B Impact Assessment (BIA), and for us it’s a compliment on the reliability of how we do business.
Extremely proud of our certification
Our B Corp certificate confirms that we not only think well, but also act well. In the years to come, we’re going to devote ourselves even more to environmental and social goals, by which we also gain more B Corp points. Through this we also hope to inspire our own business partners and relations. For a long time now, we at Winclove have known that we do all we can do to be the best company for the world, but with the B Corp certificate this is now clear to the world. And we are very proud of this.
B Corp in the future
Together as a group, B Corp certified companies achieve more for the world and for future generations. We now align ourselves in a group with like-minded organizations such as Fairphone, Tony’s Chocolonely, Ben & Jerry’s, and Patagonia. All companies that bundle their forces for a better world. For us the certification means acknowledgement and a starting point.
“B Corp challenges us to turn our good intentions into concrete actions. It is really behaviour that it’s all about. I think that companies should have the ambition to serve as an example in this and to inspire and motivate others.”
