Greetwell Purchasing Solutions Achieves B Corp Certification!

What does procurement have to do with saving the planet? Well, for Greetwell, it is a pillar into how they work. And now they have the credentials to prove it!

The Lincoln based company has officially become a Certified B Corporation® , joining an exclusive community of just over 9,000 businesses across 90 countries! They have met the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.

The news comes as the ongoing climate crisis and widening social inequality continue to pose urgent challenges to our economy. B Corp Certification assesses the entirety of a business’ operations and covers impact areas related to practices around governance, workers, community, the environment and customers.

Predominantly serving the care home sector, Greetwell is joining a growing community with over 2,500 within the UK; names include: The Guardian, Patagonia, Finisterre and Tony’s Chocolonely.

 

Chris Turner, executive director of B Lab UK, says:

“We are delighted to welcome Greetwell Purchasing Solutions to the B Corp community. This is a movement of companies that are committed to changing how business operates and believe business really can be a force for good. We know that Greetwell is going to be a fantastic addition to the community and will continue driving the conversation forward.”

“We are pleased to have B Corps of all shapes and sizes as part of our community - from startups to multinationals and across many different industries. Business is a powerful force and B Corps demonstrate that positive impact is possible in any sector. Welcoming Greetwell Purchasing Solutions is an exciting moment for the procurement industry. B Lab UK and the rest of the B Corp community are really pleased that Greetwell is paving the way for a new way of doing things.”

Greetwell’s B Corp™ builds on a long standing commitment to doing business differently. Already carbon neutral and 1% for the Planet verified, they are an active voice in pushing the industry to change. For care homes, this means procurement that helps tick the right environmental boxes, strengthens CSR and provides assurance that purchasing supports wider positive change.

 

Managing Director, Steve Gibson, says:

“This certification is more than a title but a statement of how we want to do business. Being a B Corp is another step in our on-going commitment to people and the planet. We want to raise awareness that business can be a force for good and inspire other businesses to follow suit. It’s also about building a portfolio of the best sustainable procurement specialists, so our clients know they’re partnering with a team that leads by example.”

 

By becoming a  B Corp™, Greetwell Purchasing Solutions signals that success is measured not only in profit, but in the positive impact they leave behind.
