Bragg Live Food Products (Santa Barbara, CA), obtained B Corporation Certification, underscoring 100 years of dedication to sustainability and social responsibility. The company’s core belief is “supporting vibrant living for people and the planet.”

“B Corp Certification is an opportunity for Bragg to codify an important pillar of the company’s ethos: responsible business,” said Linda Boardman, CEO of Bragg. “The passion of our team to fulfill Bragg’s health mission and uphold our core value of engagement in caring about our influence in the community and the planet, gives me confidence in the impact we’ll continue to make in the world.”

According to the company, Certified B Corporations are part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. Some of Bragg’s commitments include using 100 percent organic apples for its famous apple cider vinegar products and giving employees paid time off for volunteer work.

“I was empowered by the company to pursue this certification. Bragg was already making waves in the ESG space before applying for the B Corp, for example, committing to an organic recipe for our apple cider vinegar well before it was trendy and promoting diversity with women representing 60 percent of management,” said Ashton Roberts, supply chain manager and B Corp team leader at Bragg. “Becoming B Corp certified represented our pledge to ensure that these values were formally embedded into our ways of working and would be passed down for generations of Bragg employees to come.”
