Certified B Corporations are a part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. Bragg's continued commitment to environmental, social and governance (or ESG) practices includes initiatives like sourcing 100% organic apples for Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar and giving all employees paid time off for volunteer work. Being recognized as a Certified B Corp demonstrates Bragg's unwavering dedication to join the global movement of positively impacting the world by using business as force for good.

Bragg CEO Linda Boardman expressed her enthusiasm for the certification, stating, "B Corp Certification is an opportunity for Bragg to codify an important pillar of the company's ethos: responsible business. The passion of our team to fulfill Bragg's health mission and uphold our core value of engagement in caring about our influence in the community and the planet, gives me confidence in the impact we'll continue to make in the world."

Bragg's employees spearheaded the B Corp effort, inspired by the company's well-established responsibility practices and embodying its vision to inspire healthy living for all.

Reflecting on the certification journey, Bragg Supply Chain Manager and B Corp team leader Ashton Roberts said,

"I was empowered by the company to pursue this certification. Bragg was already making waves in the ESG space before applying for the B Corp, for example, committing to an organic recipe for our apple cider vinegar well before it was trendy and promoting diversity with women representing 60% of management. Becoming B Corp certified represented our pledge to ensure that these values were formally embedded into our ways of working and would be passed down for generations of Bragg employees to come."

The "Bragg In Action" committee, led by employees and sponsored by the leadership team, is one way Bragg is furthering its continuous improvement pledge. This group is committed to developing programs to promote education around healthy habits, empowering the organic agriculture ecosystem and actively supporting important community causes.

Bragg's new B Corp Certification reflects the company's core belief in supporting vibrant living for people and the planet.
