Vital Plan is proud to be one of the first herbal supplement companies in the U.S. to become a Certified B Corporation®. Vital Plan has been a B Corp since 2016.

Vital Plan is honored to be part of a small but growing group of global companies to be certified as a B Corporation. In an era when most every business claims to be socially and environmentally responsible, the standards of achievement and independent verification required for this certification are crucial to validating these claims.

B Corp certification is to business what Fair Trade certification is to coffee or USDA Organic certification is to milk. Companies are certified by the nonprofit B Lab to meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.

Now a movement of more than 3,200 businesses worldwide, B Corps are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy. And it’s not just a corporate movement: Every one of us can get involved by voting with our dollar each time we purchase from a B Corp.

“The B Corp movement is one of the most important of our lifetime, built on the simple fact that business impacts and serves more than just shareholders—it has an equal responsibility to the community and to the planet.”
– ROSE MARCARIO, CEO OF PATAGONIA
