March Is bCorp Month

March is bCorp Month, and we’re stoked to celebrate it as a certified bCorp. CaliWoods was first certified three years ago, and we’re now going through the recertification process! It affirms that our social and environmental practices meet high standards of transparency, accountability, and impact—values we’ve upheld since day one.

For those unfamiliar, B Lab is a global nonprofit that helps businesses be a force for good. Companies undergo a rigorous assessment to measure how their operations benefit people, communities, and the planet. You can check out our bCorp profile to see how we measure up.

Becoming a bCorp was a natural step for us as a social enterprise. We’ve always prioritised sustainability, transparency, and impact, and now this certification helps others see that we meet a high standard they can trust. It’s also a great internal tool for us to use for improvement. bCorp connects us to a movement of purpose-led businesses working to set a new benchmark for the industry. Our approach allows us to grow while continuing to meet our ambitious waste diversion and sustainability education goals.

We’re proud to stand alongside incredible bCorp brands in New Zealand, like All Good Organics, Ethique, EcoStore, Ooooby, and Little Yellow Bird, all making a significant impact in their industries. And hands up to our fellow bCorps making waves in Australia. Companies like Who Gives a Crap, 4 Ingredients, Sustainable Salons, KeepCup, and The Little Market Bunch are leading the way with their commitment to sustainability, waste reduction, and ethical business practices. 

We’re proud to share this journey with such passionate companies, each driving meaningful change and proving that business can be a force for good. Keep shining, bCorps!
