Brownies with Purpose! Greyston Bakery Deemed “Best for the World” by B Lab

News

It doesn’t happen that often that a company is named “Best for the World” in anything, so it is big news indeed that we’ve been designated as a “Best for the World”™ company by B Lab, a global nonprofit organization that scores the 4,000 certified B Corporations companies worldwide on five “impact areas” evaluated according to its B Impact Assessment.  The five “impact areas” that define a certified B Corporation are Accountability, Transparency, Performance, Availability and Cost.

The Best for the World are B Corps whose scores in one or more of the five impact areas assessed towards the certification reach the top 5% of all B Corps worldwide. At Greyston we have been recognized for our efforts in the Community area.

Here are just a few of the qualities about Greyston that resulted in a top score in this impact area:

  • Inclusive recruiting & hiring
  • Paying a living wage
  • Supporting an underserved community
  • We have local community investment programs or sponsorships
  • 50%+ of our company managers identify as women
  • We don’t ask about incarceration history during our application process

As all B Corps are already businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose, this is a recognition that makes us incredibly proud! And we’re just getting started! We will continue collaborating with the global B Corp community to improve and positively impact all our stakeholders.
