Foodspeed is a certified B Corp, the trusted symbol for ethical businesses denoting that we have been thoroughly assessed and proven to uphold high social and environmental standards.
Foodspeed is proud to have joined a growing group of companies around the world that use business as a force for good, balancing purpose and profit while considering the impact of our decisions on employees, clients, suppliers, our community and the environment.
How does Foodspeed becoming a B Corp benefit our clients?
Confidence – B Corps are rigorously assessed. Social and environmental impacts are defined, assessed in-depth and scored so you can be confident our standards are objective and measurable.
Accountability – the legal structure of every certified B Corp gives people and planet equal weight as shareholders or profits. This commitment in law means that we must consider our community and the environment in all we do.
Transparency – B Corps are scored publicly, so you can have a transparent view of our business. You can even compare our score with other food businesses.
Support – Foodspeed is part of a community of over 2,500 B Corps worldwide, in over 50 countries, all striving to use business as a force for good. We can pool resources and research on a range of issues to further support our clients.
Planet Mark certified
Foodspeed holds Planet Mark Business Certification, an internationally recognised sustainability standard for business through which we measure and aim to reduce our carbon footprint annually.
Organic matters
Foodspeed is accredited by the Organic Food Federation ensuring that the many organic products we stock comply with organic standards and are fully traceable from farm to kitchen.
