Cabot joins a growing legion of successful cooperatives, fellow Northeast organisations and forward-thinking national brands that have been certified by the non-profit, B Lab.
The announcement of Cabot’s certification coincides with the updated release of its Reward Volunteers app, a collaborative effort to promote community development through volunteerism.
Certified B Corporations are businesses around the globe that meet rigorous and independent standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
B Lab, a non-profit organisation based in the US, uses its B Impact Assessment to certify B Corps much the same way Fair Trade USA certifies Fair Trade coffee or the US Green Building Council certifies Leed buildings.
Dr Richard Stammer, Cabot CEO, said: “Cabot’s B Corporation Certification is an important third-party validation of our business practices. These practices include governance by our farmer owners, the environmental impact we have on the land, how we treat our employees, and how we support the communities where we live, work and sell our products.”
