Garden of Life® Improves B Corp™ Score After Completing Recertification Process
Achievement Signifies Supplement Leader's Deepened Commitment to Empowering Extraordinary Health Through Environmental and Social Impact
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., March 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Garden of Life®, a leader in dietary supplements made from non-GMO ingredients, has successfully recertified as a B Corporation™ (B Corp™), earning its highest B Impact Score yet of 106.2. The brand now ranks among the highest in the vitamin, mineral and supplement category and proudly sits alongside a leading group of purpose-led businesses that have also surpassed the honorable 100-point barrier.
This recognition comes a decade after Garden of Life first became certified as a B Corp. Every three years, B Corp companies must undergo a comprehensive recertification process to maintain the badge, providing an opportunity to demonstrate improvements to work across five impact areas: governance, environment, workers, customers and community. Garden of Life has remained committed to upholding the high B Corp standards for environmental and social responsibility, using its business as a force for good.
To qualify for B Corp certification, a business must score 80 or higher, and the average B Impact Assessment™ score is 50.9. The latest Garden of Life B Impact Score is nearly 15 points more than its previous, and over 25 points higher than when it was initially certified in 2015. This score increase was largely driven by the "Environment" pillar of the assessment. Brand initiatives like use of wind and solar power as a renewable energy source and efforts to reduce its carbon footprint across the ingredient supply chain contributed to this improvement. Garden of Life also continued to generate high scores in the "Customer" category due to its quality assurance and responsible sourcing programs.
"Achieving this recertification marks a significant milestone in our ongoing journey of bettering the Garden of Life brand," said Heather Storms, Senior Director of Marketing, Garden of Life. "It is engrained in our DNA to support healthy living while doing right by the environment – and we are proud to have seen an improvement in our previous B Impact Score by prioritizing sustainability efforts. This distinction is ultimately about more than a number; it represents our growth as a brand and obligation and commitment to continue raising the bar."
In addition to being B Corp certified, Garden of Life has earned a myriad of other third-party accreditations and certifications at both the brand and product level, including: USDA Organic, Non-GMO Verified, PETA Cruelty-Free and Vegan, LEED Gold, Green-e Energy and more. These verifications demonstrate the high standards the brand holds itself to, in order to meet and maintain the expectations of other highly regarded organizations.
