October 4, 2021
Innovative Businesses Create Products and Practices with Social and Environmental Benefit
The products we use to keep ourselves and our homes clean and healthy become a part of our lives — and the Certified B Corporations in the United States and Canada that create some of our go-to’s realize the level of trust involved in our purchase. That’s why they commit to using safe and sustainable ingredients in their home goods and self-care products that don’t harm our bodies or the Earth.
The U.S. and Canada B Corps on this list also show a commitment to community by working with organizations that advocate for or advance aligned social and environmental causes.
