Certified B Corporation™ is a globally recognised standard conferred by B Lab, a non-profit organisation.

It signifies that a business meets verified standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency, balancing purpose with profit.

Certification is awarded following a rigorous assessment process that evaluates a company’s impact across five key areas: governance, workers, community, environment, and customers.

To qualify, companies must complete the B Impact Assessment and achieve a verified score of 80 or higher.

Solaris Tea completed the assessment and achieved a score of 108.9, well above the qualifying threshold.

Karin Müller, co-owner of Solaris Tea and medical herbalist, says, “We are absolutely thrilled to meet this milestone after over a year of in-depth examination by the B Lab.

“It’s wonderful to have the pillars of sustainability recognised, that Solaris Tea has been built on from the very beginning.”

The Certified B Corporation™ is reviewed every three years, with certified companies required to demonstrate continued improvement and transparency.
