As described on the B Corporation website:
“Certified B Corporations are a new type of corporation which uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems.
B Corps, unlike traditional businesses:
- Meet comprehensive and transparent social and environmental performance standards;
- Meet higher legal accountability standards
- Build business constituency for good business.”
B corporations have third-party certified benefits for society and the environment. Enviro-Stewards scored in the “Area of Excellence” (over 60%) in every category. Our “B Impact Report” is shown in the image to the right (our full B Corp webpage can be found here).
Bruce Taylor (president of Enviro-Stewards) and Reg Snyder (the company’s CFO) recently attended a B corporation workshop in Pennsylvania to meet other members of certified B Corporations. The movement is rapidly growing in the US, where there are now 468 certified B Corps as well as several states with B Corp legislation. Currently there are only 20 certified B Corps in Canada. The photo below was taken in front of the site where the USA’s Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. In front of this historic site, each member of the group signed B Corp’s Declaration of Interdependence.
Enviro-Stewards has recently been featured in the local media due to their participation in this movement:
