We're a Certified B Corp!
What it means.
B Corp is a rigorous certification for businesses that work to actively create social and environmental benefits. Inc. magazine describes Certified B Corporations as "companies that have reached the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance." Over 10,000 companies have become Certified B Corporations since B Lab was established in 2006. B Corps now exist in over 100 countries and represent over 1 million employees. Large and well-known B Corps include Patagonia, Ben and Jerry's, Danone, Warby Parker, Athleta and Seventh Generation.
Mangrove joined the ranks of these Certified B Corps in November 2016 and re-certified in 2019 and in 2023, increasing our score after each assessment.
We also became a legal Benefit Corporation in California in January 2017, which is a corporate status that solidifies and underlines our commitment to our B Corp values and our mission-driven business model.
Measuring our impact.
To become a B Corp, companies must materially prove that they care as much about society and the environment as they do about their business. The B Impact Assessment determines a score for every company based on their governance, workers, community, environment, and customers.
Our recent Impact Report provides more details about how we put our values into action using our business as a force for good.
