- Cotswold Fayre has become one of the few British companies to have a place on the B Corporation's Best of the World List, an indication of its high environmental and social standards
The accreditation was awarded in response to the fine food distributor’s voluntarily high ethical standards, which range from its support of staff, local and small suppliers, and its continued support of the Bala Children’s Centre in Kenya.
Paul Hargreaves, chief executive of Cotswold Fayre said, “We are absolutely delighted to be recognised for our endeavours to use our position to help create value for society and solve social and environmental problems.
“We are incredibly pleased with the score that we have been awarded by B Corp and we are also using the results as a means of identifying areas of our ethical practice that we can improve further.”
James Perry, co-ordinator for the UK launch of B Corporation said, “We are delighted to welcome Cotswold Fayre to our founding UK B Corp Community. The B Corp movement is a global community of businesses who are using the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. It includes more than 1,300 businesses in 40 countries and over 120 industries.
“The UK is well placed to help lead this global movement, and companies such as Cotswold Fayre are a great example of a business taking leadership in their field.”
