Employee-Driven Efforts Culminate in B Corp
Certification
SANTA
BARBARA, Calif., April 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bragg Live Food Products,
Inc. ("Bragg"), one of the oldest and most trusted health and
wellness brands and the leading producer of organic apple cider
vinegar and other natural products, proudly announces its official
B Corp Certification, underscoring over 100 years of dedication to
sustainability and social responsibility.
Certified B Corporations are a part of a global community of
businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental
performance, transparency, and accountability. Bragg's continued
commitment to environmental, social and governance (or ESG)
practices includes initiatives like sourcing 100% organic apples
for Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar and giving all employees paid
time off for volunteer work. Being recognized as a Certified B Corp
demonstrates Bragg's unwavering dedication to join the global
movement of positively impacting the world by using business as
force for good.
Bragg CEO Linda Boardman
expressed her enthusiasm for the certification, stating, "B Corp
Certification is an opportunity for Bragg to codify an important
pillar of the company's ethos: responsible business. The passion of
our team to fulfill Bragg's health mission and uphold our core
value of engagement in caring about our influence in the community
and the planet, gives me confidence in the impact we'll continue to
make in the world."
Bragg's employees spearheaded the B Corp effort, inspired by the
company's well-established responsibility practices and embodying
its vision to inspire healthy living for all.
Reflecting on the certification journey, Bragg Supply Chain
Manager and B Corp team leader Ashton
Roberts said,
"I was empowered by the company to pursue this certification.
Bragg was already making waves in the ESG space before applying for
the B Corp, for example, committing to an organic recipe for our
apple cider vinegar well before it was trendy and promoting
diversity with women representing 60% of management. Becoming B
Corp certified represented our pledge to ensure that these values
were formally embedded into our ways of working and would be passed
down for generations of Bragg employees to come."
The "Bragg In Action" committee, led by employees and sponsored
by the leadership team, is one way Bragg is furthering its
continuous improvement pledge. This group is committed to
developing programs to promote education around healthy habits,
empowering the organic agriculture ecosystem and actively
supporting important community causes.
Bragg's new B Corp Certification reflects the company's core
belief in supporting vibrant living for people and the planet.
