What is a B CORP Certification?
The B Corp Certification process is governed by the non-profit, B Lab® which verifies that a business is meeting rigorous standards of performance, accountability, and transparency for all stakeholders. Certified B Corps are for-profit companies that focus on a triple bottom line of people, planet, and profit while also using their business as a force for good.

It provides confidence for our team and current and future families that want to make more informed purchasing decisions with purpose-driven organizations.”
