In the recently released B Lab “Best For The World” list, Salt Spring Coffee was among only five Canadian companies selected. The achievement award takes into account their dedication to sustainable production, business practices from relationships with workers and suppliers, and their creation of the first lifecycle carbon neutral coffee in Canada, even down to their movement toward zero waste.

Joel Solomon, Chairman of Renewal2, was quoted in last week's Huffington Post Canada article: “Canadian ‘B Corps’ Put Their Money Where Their Branding Is On Social Causes”.

Letter from the Team at B Lab

Last week, at the Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship, the Obama Administration announced the U.S. Government's support for B Lab's Global Impact Investing Rating System ("GIIRS"). 

GIIRS will facilitate the flow of impact investment capital to entrepreneurs who use business to address the world's most challenging problems.
