Could your business become B Corp?
Wales’ B Corp portfolio is blossoming. With Welsh Government providing access to expertise and training for businesses to become greener and more sustainable, it allows businesses to get that much closer to their sustainability goals, including B Corp.
In a world increasingly attuned to the environmental needs of the planet, it is becoming a prerequisite for food and drink manufacturers to be producing their goods with sustainability at the forefront of their thinking.
It seems likely that in the long run, those retailers and manufacturers who demonstrate business responsibility through sustainable improvements in environmental, social, health and quality values will be most favoured by consumers.
Doing good by your staff and the planet, alongside support from Welsh Government, isn’t it time you joined the B Corp community? Contact the Sustainability Cluster and begin your journey towards a more sustainable food and drink industry in Wales.
