Congratulations to Benjamin Bridge! While we were attending Benjamin Bridge lsat month, they announced their farm winery is now B Corp Certified, joining a vast community of corporations that use business as a force for good. Benjamin Bridge is the second winery in Canada and one of only 25 other wineries in the world to achieve this sustainability certification. If you are familiar with B Corp, you’ll know just how meaningful this certification is.

What does it mean to be a B Corp?

B Corp Certification is a designation awarded to businesses that meet rigorous standards of ethical and sustainable practices in all aspects of their operations. This includes their treatment of employees, their impact on the environment, their supply chain practices, and their contributions to the community. The certification is holistic instead of focusing on a single aspect of business, centring accountability, transparency, and using business as a means to make a positive impact on the world.
