Yes, that\u2019s right. Be Fresh is a\u00a0B Corp<\/a>, people \u2013 this is a big deal! But being a B Corp is only important if you know what it means. (Just kidding, it\u2019s important either way, but you should still know.)<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s a B Corp?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The \u201cB\u201d in B Corp stands for \u201cbenefit\u201d. That\u2019s exactly what B Corps are certified to do. As stated by the\u00a0B Corp site<\/a>,\u201cB Corps meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, legal accountability, and aspire to use the power of markets to solve social and environmental problems.\u201d<\/i>\u00a0Basically, what Fair Trade is to coffee or USDA Organic is to milk, B Corp is to business.<\/p>\n

How is Be Fresh a B Corp?<\/b><\/h2>\n

At Be Fresh, we\u2019re a B Corp through our parent company,\u00a0SPUD<\/a>,\u00a0because of our focus on reusable and low-waste packaging, our commitment to sourcing and supporting local business, and our continuous community outreach (ex. bin drives). SPUD has been a B Corp since 2013 \u2013 read about why else they\u2019re a B Corp\u00a0here<\/a>!<\/p>\n

How to become a B Corp?<\/b><\/h2>\n

To become a B Corp, a company must undergo a\u00a0rigorous assessment<\/a>. This isn\u2019t some hippie-dippie nonsense. A company must take an impact assessment, schedule an assessment review with supporting documentation, complete said review, support with more documentation, complete a final questionnaire, AND submit to numerous background checks. They also must meet legal requirements and pay certification fees. On top of that, once a B Corp has been certified, it must update its assessment every 2 years. It\u2019s an extensive and lengthy process, but it\u2019s worth it.<\/p>\n

Tons of other cool companies are B Corps too! We\u2019re talking big guys like\u00a0Patagonia<\/a>,\u00a0Seventh Generation<\/a>, and\u00a0Etsy<\/a>, and tons of smaller favourites too.\u00a0With just over 2000 companies worldwide that are certified B Corps, we\u2019re pretty darn proud to be one of them.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]
