TORONTO — Goodfood Market Corp. has achieved B Corp certification, a testament to its commitment to social and environmental responsibility and the Canadian economy.
Goodfood sources 100 per cent of its ingredients from Canadian-based suppliers, with 70 per cent directly from local farms. With 38 partners across British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Quebec, Ontario and the Maritimes, Goodfood prides itself on collaborations with businesses, such as La Casa dei Ravioli, Berlo’s Best and Les Jardins Glenorra.
The certification promises that Goodfood is at the highest level of governance and ethical standards to all of its stakeholders including suppliers, customers, employees and shareholders, alongside consciously reducing the use of water and electricity resources in its facilities.
“The quality of our meal-kits is our number-1 priority,” says Neil Cuggy, president and Chief Operations Officer at Goodfood. “Sourcing locally has never been a question, it provides customers with the freshest ingredients and a Canadian connection to the recipes.”
“Our B Corp certification demonstrates our commitment to balancing profit with purpose across all aspects of our business,” says Jonathan Ferrari, co-founder and CEO of Goodfood. “This certification process evaluates our impact on all stakeholders and the communities in which we operate. It validates our efforts in critical ethical areas, ensuring we deliver sustainable meal kits that our customers can trust, while also creating value for all those connected to our business.”
