Healthy Nibbles Certifies as a B Corporation
Pioneering health and wellness brand, Healthy Nibbles, has announced today its certification as a B Corporation (or B Corp), joining a growing group of companies reinventing business by pursuing purpose as well as profit. Healthy Nibbles has been certified by B Lab, the not-for-profit behind the B Corp movement, as having met rigorous social and environmental standards which represent its commitment to goals outside of shareholder profit.
The B Corp certification addresses the entirety of a business’ operations and covers five key impact areas of Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers. The certification process is rigorous, with applicants required to reach a benchmark score of over 80 while providing evidence of socially and environmentally responsible practices relating to energy supplies, waste and water use, worker compensation, diversity and corporate transparency. To complete the certification, the company will legally embed its commitment to purpose beyond profit in their company's legal documents.
Healthy Nibbles is now part of a community of 4,000 businesses globally who have been certified as B Corps. The B Corp community in the UK, representing a broad cross-section of industries and sizes, comprises over 400 companies and includes well-known brands such as The Guardian, innocent, Patagonia, The Body Shop, Coutts Bank, Mindful Chef, Proper, and Veja.
Recent attention on the wellness industry makes Healthy Nibbles’ B Corp certification a notable step and signals a shift towards greater accountability and transparency in the sector.
Sara Roberts, Founder of Healthy Nibbles, says “Being a young company our eyes are open to the damage caused by uncaring business; for us that’s a powerful challenge to build our business better. Championing health and wellbeing for people at the same time as committing to the highest standards of social and environmental impact is at the heartbeat of Healthy Nibbles. By achieving BCorp we have a stamp of approval that gives our people, suppliers, and our customers confidence that we are able to evidence our commitment to building our business as a force for good.”
Chris Turner, Executive Director of B Lab UK, says “We are delighted to welcome Healthy Nibbles to the B Corp community. This is a movement of companies who are committed to changing how business operates and believe business really can be a force for good. We know that Healthy Nibbles are going to be a fantastic addition to the community and will continue driving the conversation forward”.
“We are pleased to have B Corps of all shapes and sizes as part of our community – from startups to multinationals and across many different industries. Business is a powerful force and B Corps demonstrate that you can do good in any sector. Welcoming Healthy Nibbles is an exciting moment because they have an opportunity to lead the way within corporate wellbeing and healthy snacking. We and the rest of the B Corp community are really pleased to support Healthy Nibbles in paving the way for a new way of doing things”.
“Being able to welcome Healthy Nibbles to the B Corp community is hugely exciting. Their commitment to doing business differently will be an inspiration to others and really help spread the idea that we can redefine success in business to be as much about people and planet as it is about profit”.
