LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Erewhon, premium organic grocer and cafe, proudly announced its newly earned B Corp Certification, furthering the brand’s commitment as a leading grocer. The prestigious designation is awarded to companies that meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
From its beginnings, Erewhon’s mission has always been to make healthy, pure, nutrient-rich foods and products available to all and to inspire people to eat better, eat less and live longer. It has worked towards this mission by maintaining the most stringent standards for all products throughout its stores across prepared foods, grocery, nutrition, produce, and its juice & tonic bar. This commitment, along with Erewhon’s values-driven principles of taking care of its employees and communities, are the basis for Erewhon’s B Corp Certification.
“Earning a B Corp Certification was an important milestone to all of us at Erewhon as it directly aligns with our mission and signals our ongoing commitment to our communities, our team members, and to the environment,” said Kabir Jain, Erewhon’s Chief Growth Officer. “The certification process was enlightening to help us identify not only where we are strong today, but also where we can continue to improve to drive impact for all our stakeholders.”
Certified B Corporations (also referred to as B Corps) are companies that use the power of business as a force for good. B Corps are required to consider the impact of their decisions on all stakeholders: customers, workers, communities, and the environment. To achieve B Corp Certification companies must complete a rigorous and comprehensive assessment across all business practices and must undergo verification every three years to maintain Certification. With its Certification, Erewhon joins a growing list of businesses in over 70 countries committed to measuring their impact and building better businesses.
“We are excited to welcome Erewhon to the community of Certified B Corporations committed to using business as a force for good,” said Sarah Reice, Senior Business Sustainability Analyst, B-Lab. “Throughout the certification process, Erewhon demonstrated that they stand as an industry leader dedicated to driving positive impact across their employees, their communities, and the environment.”
