North Carolina-based Gaia Herbs has been recognized as one of the “100 Top Impact Companies” of 2019, as awarded by Real Leaders Magazine in partnership with Big Path Capital and B Lab.
“We were very impressed with the quality of applicants who were subjected to a rigorous review process for this first-ever ‘100 Top Impact Companies’ awards,” said Mark Van Ness, founder, Real Leaders Magazine.
Winners were selected based on their three-year growth rate, revenue and B Impact assessment score, which is totaled as “A Company’s Force for Good Score” by Real Leaders Magazine. Winners will be celebrated at a formal event on April 4-5 at the Momentum Summit in Asheville, NC.
According to Angela McElwee, president of Gaia Herbs, “From our humble beginnings, 31 years ago, our business decisions have always been guided first by our values and our commitment to people, planet, and purpose—and not by profits alone. Gaia Herbs is proud to be recognized as one of the ‘100 Top Impact Companies’ and is honored to be a part of this list of inspirational companies that are focused on the greater good.”
A Certified B Corporation, Gaia belongs to a community of purpose-driven companies that use the power of business to build a more inclusive and sustainable economy.
