Meat delivery subscription service ButcherBox has become B Corp certified. Since its founding in 2015, the company has been in pursuit of a better way to make high-quality meat more accessible to consumers, one that focuses on animal welfare, supports farmers, treats the planet with respect, and upholds diversity, equity, and inclusion across the business.
"I have always felt that being a successful company and doing good were inextricably linked, so when I founded ButcherBox, I knew we could have a positive impact on farmers, animals, and the environment while also being financially successful," said Mike Salguero, founder and CEO of ButcherBox, in a statement. "Being certified as a B Corp signifies the hard work our team has put in over the last five years to be a responsible and sustainable, high-growth company. While we have areas to improve in, we are now able to use B Corp as a new lens to view our business decisions and make those improvements."
ButcherBox's B Corp score highlighted the organization's commitment to taking care of its employees, creating good governance, and valuing animal welfare.
"Its brands like ButcherBox who are doing the hard and important work behind the scenes to deliver an unparalleled experience for their members that truly define a B Corp," said Lindsey Wilson, business development manager at certifying company B Lab, in a statement. "It's been a pleasure watching ButcherBox grow as a leader in the meat industry and build an incredibly loyal member base. We're proud to welcome ButcherBox to the B Corp family and watch them as they continue to live out their mission of improving the food system."
