Merryfield, the first-ever standards driven rewards network, achieves B Corp™ Certification

The rewards network for better-for-you brands is awarded this distinguished third-party recognition for social and environmental impact, transparency and accountability

BOSTON, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Merryfield PBC, a consumer app, trusted authority, and rewards network for a collective of better-for-you brands including Stonyfield Organic, Applegate, JUSTIN'S®, Amy's Kitchen, Califia Farms, Primal Kitchen and more, proudly announced today its B Corporation™ Certification. This certification underscores the company's commitment to positively impacting the world by making it easier for people to choose and afford healthier products while educating consumers on issues around nutrition and sustainability, and helping truly mission-driven brands stand out. Merryfield is the only rewards network with strict, transparent standards that all member brands must meet for all their products.

"Becoming a Certified B Corp is a huge honor. Merryfield makes it easier for people to save money and earn rewards on healthier brands, and we're grateful and excited that we have been recognized as a purpose-driven company acting as a force for good in the world," says Zooey Deschanel, co-founder and chief creative officer of Merryfield. "This achievement shows that we're truly walking the walk when it comes to fulfilling our mission to democratize access to truly better brands."

Certified B Corporations (also called B Corps) are businesses that meet high standards for verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. B Corps help promote a global culture shift to redefine success in business and construct a more inclusive and sustainable economy.

To receive B Corp Certification, Merryfield committed to a rigorous B Impact Assessment process conducted by B Lab, the verifying body behind the B Corp program. Auditors assessed Merryfield's social and environmental performance, its legal accountability, and the company's practices and operations, including employee engagement, community relationships, environmental impact, governance structure, customer relationships and philanthropic practices. (Merryfield has partnered with No Kid Hungry and contributes 1% of its revenue to support No Kid Hungry's mission to end childhood hunger.)

"Our team has worked hard to demonstrate our deep commitment to transparency, positive social and environmental impact, and ensure that our purpose-driven company is truly acting as a force for good in the world. We're honored to join the global B Corp community, a thriving and dynamic community of business committed to transforming the world!" says Joe Dickson, Merryfield co-founder and head of standards and policy.

The global B Corp community is made up of over 5,000 businesses in over 70 countries, across 150 industries, inspiring others to balance purpose and profit. Certified B Corporations are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment. Additional brands that are B Corp certified include 16 Merryfield member brands: Amy's Kitchen, EO, Everyone, Good Culture, Hand in Hand, Hilary's, NadaMoo, Nellie's Free Range, Once Upon a Farm, Pete and Gerry's Organic, Prima, Ripple, Stonyfield Organic, Type:A, Uncle Matt's Organic and Vital Farms.

To celebrate our certification and honor Certified B Corp Member Brands, Merryfield will be offering boosted rewards on those brands through September 13: When shoppers buy any product from these 14 B Corp member brands, they'll receive the equivalent of 20% back when they take a picture of their receipt, from wherever they shop, with the Merryfield app.

"We are happy to welcome Merryfield to the community of Certified B Corporations. Merryfield's commitment and dedication to providing consumers healthy choices and educating on nutrition meet B Lab's rigorous standards. We are excited to see the other initiatives they take on next," said Lindsey Wilson, B Lab U.S. and Canada's associate director of growth.

Merryfield is the only rewards app with rigorous and transparent quality standards that all brands and products must meet to be on the platform. Created by the company's Clean Council, Merryfield's Standards filter out unwanted ingredients such as artificial coloring, high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils.
