Staff at total supply chain solutions provider Oakland International have been reflecting on the power of the B Corp movement as it marks its 10th anniversary.
Oakland has proudly held B Corp certification since 2022, and November’s Take 10 celebration offered employees the chance to consider what being part of this global community means for the business.
To achieve B Corp status, companies must meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, balancing people and the planet alongside profit.
Since earning certification, Oakland International has demonstrated leadership in driving sustainability within the logistics sector. The company has collaborated with other businesses to create positive change without compromising environmental integrity.
Sustainability Officer at Oakland International, Elinor Smith said as well as the environmental benefits there were staff and community benefits too with Oakland focused on making a difference through its charitable Oakland Foundation and its’ support for charities include Molly Ollys and local foodbanks.
Elinor said: “We are one of the few logistic companies to achieve B Corp status and it is a certification which we are very proud of.
“We will be reapplying for certification next year and are determined to hold on to such a reputable badge of honour.”
As Oakland prepares for recertification, its commitment to shaping a greener, more responsible future for logistics remains stronger than ever.
Founded on sustainable innovation, Oakland International is a Certified B Corporation and a pioneer in reducing food waste through its distress load management service. The company delivers comprehensive supply chain solutions across storage, distribution, contract packing, consolidation, and direct-to-consumer support for UK and Ireland retail, wholesale, and foodservice markets.
