Cambridge Commodities is excited to become a Certified B Corporation. It joins a growing list of companies in the food and nutrition space that are also B Corps.
With its HQ located in Ely, the ingredient supplier has become known in the local area for its charity work and rapid growth, providing jobs for people in and around Cambridgeshire.
Organisations that have been certified by B Lab are all working towards the same goal of transforming the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet. B Lab started in 2006 with the idea that a different economy was needed, and that business could lead the way towards a new, stakeholder-driven model.
B Lab became known for certifying B Corporations, which are companies that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
James Stevens, CEO at Cambridge Commodities, said: “I was extremely proud when we recognised that our core principles were very much in line with the ideals of the B Corp certification.
Staff happiness, reducing our environmental impact, dedicating time to charitable work, and questioning our standards of governance in an ever-changing world have always been our absolute focus, and always will be.
Our dedicated ‘B Team’ has been working tirelessly over the past few months to collate all the information we need to prove we meet the strict criteria, and we couldn’t be happier that we qualify.
We will endeavour to improve our score every day and look forward to building a close relationship with B Lab.”
