Every year, B Lab recognizes the businesses that are using their work to have a positive impact on the world.
This year, we are honored to share that Terrapin has been recognized as a 2017 Best for the World honoree in the Workers category.
Our team is our greatest asset, and we are proud to be included in the Best for Workers list, which includes businesses that earned a Workers score in the top 10 percent of more than 2,100 Certified B Corporations on the B Impact Assessment. The Workers section of the B Impact Assessment assesses the company’s relationship with its workforce. It measures how the company treats its workers through compensation, benefits, and training provided to workers. The category also focuses on the overall work environment within the company.
The 148 Best for Workers companies come from 61 different industries and 21 countries. B Lab simultaneously released separate lists recognizing 846 total B Corporations as Best for the World (overall impact), Best for the Environment, Best for Customers, Best for the Long Term, Best for Community and Best for the World: Changemakers, which can be found at on B the Change.
Congratulations to all 846 companies around the world that are recognized as Best for the World. We’re proud to be part of this community of businesses working to use business as force for good–good for workers, good for communities, good for the environment, and good for the world.
