Vallformosa, first spanish winery to become Bcorp

Thanks to our compliance with high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and corporate responsibility, Vallformosa is a pioneer in the Spanish viticulture sector in reaching the historic achievement of being a B Corp company.

Joining the BCorp community of companies means being part of the leadership of a movement that is transforming the global economy to benefit all people and theplanet.

What does it mean to be BCorp?

 

This certification recognises our daily effort in the activities and actions where all Vallformosa employees are involved, focused on the collective progress of a company responsible with the environment and with the people.

 

BCorp companies are audited for our impact on different stakeholders, from employees and suppliers to the community, customers, and the environment.

How did we achieve this?

 

The BCorp standard measures company-wide management performance and covers five key impact areas: Governance, Employees, Community, Environment and Customers. It is awarded by B Lab to companies that are leaders in their social and environmental commitment after passing a rigorous assessment process through which companies must provide evidence of good practice and incorporate their legal commitment to social purpose into their by laws.

So now what?

At Vallformosa we now are part of a community over 8,000 companies around the world that have become BCorp. This is a growing community of companies that are helping to redefine the meaning of business success: a success that is measured not only by financial returns, but also by the well-being of people, communities, and the planet, and with it, making all companies compete to be not only the best in the world; but above all, the best for the world.

 

From this point on, we are committed to maintaining a structure of continuous development and improvement with the future in mind and, in this way, continue to build a strong and responsible company. We will undergo an evaluation and verification process every three years to demonstrate that our project is real and truthful.

Vallformosa BCorp

“For Vallformosa it is a historic achievement to become BCorp, something totally pioneering in the Spanish wine sector. It is the result of years of effort to get things right in a sector with many adverse factors”.

 

Marta Vidal, CEO de Vallformosa.
