OLYMPIA, Wash., Aug. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Industry leading mushroom supplement manufacturer Fungi Perfecti, committed to transparency, sustainability, and corporate responsibility, is now a Certified B Corporation™.

Fungi Perfecti, LLC is a Certified B Corporation™!

As a B Corporation™, Fungi Perfecti - makers of Host Defense® Mushrooms™ - is now part of a global community of businesses mutually committed to positive action. B Corp is a certification designated by B Lab, a nonprofit network with the goal of making businesses worldwide a collective force for good™.

Certified B Corporations™ are companies that have met high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. These companies undergo a rigorous process in which B Lab™ evaluators use the B Impact Assessment™ that focuses on 5 categories: Environment, Governance, Community, Workers, and Customers. In order to qualify as a Certified B Corporation™, an organization must receive a minimum combined total score of 80. The median score for most businesses is 50.9. Fungi Perfecti is proud to report that they scored 83.5!

In order to achieve B Corp™ certification, a company must:

Demonstrate high social and environmental performance.
Make a legal commitment by changing their corporate governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders, not just shareholders.
Exhibit transparency by allowing information to be publicly available on their B Corp™ profile.

One important aspect measured in the process is the impact a company has on the local communities in which it operates, including the environmental and social impact. B Corporations must demonstrate a commitment to maintaining both a low environmental impact and a positive community impact, including creating a regenerative economy by offering high-quality jobs with a demonstrated commitment to equity, inclusivity, and corporate responsibility.
