MANCHESTER, N.H., March 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MegaFood®, an award-winning dietary supplement brand whose products are made with real, whole foods, is proud to announce it is now a Certified B Corporation. Certified by the global nonprofit, B Lab, to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, this certification underscores MegaFood's mission to nourish a world in nutritional crisis through education, community and conscientious farming practices.

A growing global network, Certified B Corporations use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. As a Certified B Corporation, MegaFood is now primed to become a driver of change in the creation of meaningful jobs, the improvement of lives, and the application of best business practices. In addition to promoting greater alignment with employees, retailers, vendors and consumers, this certification also helps MegaFood benchmark and improve its social and environmental contributions over time.

"At MegaFood, we envision a world without nutritional poverty?a planet where everyone is nourished," said Robert Craven, MegaFood CEO. "Becoming certified as a B Corporation is an important step in ensuring that vision becomes a reality in our lifetime. B Corp certification gives us clear guidelines and targets to shoot for, allowing us to operationalize and express our passion to solve our nutritional crisis in a number of ways. By baking social impact directly into our corporate strategies and holding ourselves to a higher standard, we're positioned to change this world for the good."

While the MegaFood brand has always aligned with B Corp social impact standards, the company began its formal certification efforts in late 2017. Championed by MegaFood Vice President of Social Impact, Sara Newmark, the company has implemented the following strategic initiatives to support its B Corp certification:

"Certified B Corporations distinguish themselves by committing to higher standards of transparency, accountability and performance, creating a better way of doing business," said Jay Coen Gilbert, Co-Founder of B Lab. "B Corps come from over 130 different industries and over 50 countries, and MegaFood is among a handful of premium supplement companies that have achieved this status."
