Maison Orphée has been B Corp certified for over 3 years!
We are part of the B Corp community, which includes more than 6,000 companies worldwide. As a B Corp, we are part of a movement that is leading the way to a more inclusive, equitable and regenerative global economy. We’ve just received our recertification for another three years, with a score of 90.7!
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE B CORP CERTIFICATION?
Creating healthy and tasty virgin oils and natural condiments that allow everyone to celebrate every meal, be their best selves and savor life is what makes us tick!
For more than 40 years, we have succeeded in accomplishing our mission because we work with people who put their heart and know-how into their work, whether it be our employees or our suppliers, our distributor and retailer partners. So it was already in our genes to join the B Corp movement. But it doesn't happen overnight.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The process is based on a social and environmental performance assessment called the B Impact Assessment. This evaluation allows us to thoroughly review our practices and business model through a highly detailed questionnaire. Our team dedicates hundreds of hours to assessing our practices in order to measure them, ensure they meet the required standards, and set improvement goals.
To be eligible for review by B Lab—the organization that oversees B Corp certification—the questionnaire responses must reach a minimum score of 80 points. This is followed by a verification process, during which we must provide more comprehensive evidence through a dialogue with analysts.
Our first certification score was 83.4, and our second reached 90.7—a notable improvement that elevates us across all areas of our commitment: governance, employees, environment, community, and customers.
