Vermont Business Magazine SunCommon, Vermont’s largest solar installer, and a Certified B Corp, has been named a Best for the World™ B Corp in recognition of their exemplary performance beyond commercial metrics. Ranking in the top 5% of all B Corps in their size group worldwide for their sustainable business practices, SunCommon was recognized for their efforts in the Environment category. This is the sixth time since its founding that the company has received this award.
“We couldn’t be more proud of being honored as one of the Best for the World. It’s a real tribute to our people, who are driven by a mission to use our business as a force for good,” said Tom Berry, SunCommon’s Vice President of Marketing and Sales.
The Best for the World recognition is administered by B Lab, the global nonprofit network that certifies and mobilizes Certified B Corporations, which are for-profit companies that meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. Today there are more than 4,000 Certified B Corporations across 77 countries and 153 industries, unified by one common goal: transforming the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet.
SunCommon was recognized specifically for their ongoing commitment to reducing the environmental impact of their operations. “We’ve got some things figured out, and there is certainly more we can do to improve the impact our business has on our planet and local environment,” said Duane Peterson, SunCommon’s Co-Founder and Co-President. SunCommon operates out of two net positive buildings that produce more energy than they consume, and the company is continually reducing transportation and supply chain-based carbon emissions.
“This year's Best for the World companies are operating at the very top of their class, excelling in creating positive impact for their stakeholders, including their workers, communities, customers, and the environment,” said Juan Pablo Larenas, Executive Director of B Lab Global. “Together we're marching toward our collective vision of an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economic system for all people and the planet.”
Close to 800 B Corps from more than 50 countries were named to the 2021 Best for the World lists, including Badger Balm, Chroma Technology, Dr. Bronners, Gardener’s Supply, King Arthur Baking Company, Seventh Generation, TOMS, and Patagonia. The 2021 Best for the World lists are determined based on the verified B Impact Assessments of Certified B Corporations. The full lists are available on https://bcorporation.net/.
