Phyto-Therapy is excited to announce that we are officially B Corp certified.
We are proud to join a global community of businesses committed to putting social and environmental objectives at the core of business decision-making.
B Corps must demonstrate high social and environmental performance via the B Impact Assessment, a tool designed to evaluate businesses based on five key areas; governance, workers, community, the environment, and customers.
Maintaining B Corp status is based on a process of continuous improvement, as best practice standards continue to be updated. We look to use the B Corp framework to help set and achieve our future sustainability goals.
