Raining Rose Inc., Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has become a certified B Corporation (B Corp), and joins more than 1,600 businesses in 120 industries and nearly 50 countries with the same recognition.
Certified B Corporations meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. They legally are required to comprehensively measure their impacts on their shareholders, as well as their stakeholders, such as consumers and the environment. In doing so, they serve as leaders of the global movement of people using business as a force for good.
Being a certified B Corporation is to an entire company what Fair Trade or USDA Organic certification is to a single product.
“Becoming B Corps certified is an important accomplishment for us,” said Chuck Hammond, CEO of Raining Rose Inc. “It is being recognized for socially and environmentally responsible practices that we have had in place for years. As a manufacturer of natural and organic goods, and an active member in our local community, the values B Corps represent align with ours, and we look forward to putting even more focus on these values with our new certification.”
