‘B’ Naturals
‘It was always our ambition to build a different kind of logistics business, one that is not merely about its bottom line, but a business whose value is measured by its positive impact on others.’

‘Becoming a B Corp was awesome, but certification is only the beginning; the work continues from here.’

Being a B Corp
B Corporations are ‘benefit companies’; they are certified as meeting high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
B Corp certification is unique in that it measures a company’s entire social and environmental impact. But beyond that it is a statement of support for a goal of transforming our economy into one that benefits the many rather than the few. By changing the way businesses think, balancing purpose with profit, B Corps believe that a regenerative and long term sustainable economy will result.
For Exim, B Corp Certification is a way of demonstrating our belief in the potential of business to be a force for good in the world. It is also an effective, public framework that provides clarity to all our stakeholders on our performance as a business. Of course it matters to us is that we perform well financially, but that’s a narrow measure of the value of the business. Its true value is in revealed through its social and environmental performance.
Many thousands of companies of all sizes have adopted B Corp certification and not always the ones you would expect.
Our scores—what we measure and why.
B Corp certification measures business performance in five dimensions (governance, workers, community, environment and customers) to generate a total score for the business.
The average business scores 50.9, well short of the 80 needed to meet the minimum B Corp standard.
Our score is currently 94.5. That’s the starting point; the aim is to improve it each year.
