To achieve B Corp Certification, companies must undergo a
rigorous assessment process and meet a B Impact Assessment score of
at least 80. Chosen Foods exceeded the requirements, demonstrating
its years-long commitment to and presence of accountability and
transparency through its mission-driven business.
“We’re honored to receive this certification as a proof point of
our commitment to positively impacting people and our planet,” said
Douglas MacFarlane, CEO of Chosen Foods. “From day one, we’ve been
dedicated to building a responsible business through our
better-for-you kitchen staples that replace bad fats with good fats
from 100% pure avocado oil. Becoming B Corp Certified is an
exciting milestone in recognition of these efforts and we’re proud
to join the growing movement of companies working to create the
positive change we need to see in the world.”
Chosen Foods considers the effects of its business and
operational decisions on all its stakeholders (not just
shareholders) to make a positive, material impact on society and
the environment. As part of its business model for good and
governing documents, the company has taken several key steps that
led to it achieving B Corp Certification. These include:
- Using primarily bruised or damaged avocados that would
otherwise end up in waste streams to make its 100% pure avocado
oil.
- Thoroughly monitoring potential environmental impacts through
regular visits to suppliers’ operations to ensure waste reduction
practices and growing practices are aligned with Chosen Foods’
expectations and standards.
- Transforming any leftover matter from the oil extraction
process into natural gas, animal feed, or fertilizer for farming
purposes.
- Adhering to environmentally friendly purchasing procedures by
routinely conducting packaging footprint assessments to review the
environmental impact of packaging from conception through the sale
of the product.
- Purchasing carbon offsets for all of Chosen Foods’ scope 1 and
2 emissions and a percentage of its scope 3 emissions.
- Facilitating a process of tracking all greenhouse emissions to
ensure a cleaner business model and a safer planet.
Chosen Foods is dedicated to offering consumers better-for-you
kitchen staples with its 100% pure avocado oil, ensuring the
quality and purity of its products. By achieving B Corp status,
Chosen Foods is committed to contributing to sustainable and
economic system change while delivering products that are better
for people and the planet.
