ZymoChem Achieves Certified B Corporation™ Status

ZymoChem, a pioneering name in the biotech industry focused on sustainable materials for daily use, has recently made strides in its mission by obtaining Certified B Corporation™ status. This prestigious accolade showcases ZymoChem's dedication to high social and environmental standards, while emphasizing transparency and accountability as set forth by B Lab™.

Having already established itself as a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), ZymoChem is now recognized for its holistic approach to business, actively considering the impact of its operations on people, the environment, and profitability. This new recognition as a Certified B Corporation™ places ZymoChem alongside a global community of over 9,000 businesses that prioritize making positive contributions to society through their operations.

Understanding the Significance of B Corp™ Certification

Becoming a Certified B Corporation™ involves meeting rigorous performance standards related to a company's impact on employees, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment. This certification represents a company's commitment to fostering a more inclusive and equitable economic system, where profit and social good go hand in hand.

Joe Giallanella, General Manager of ZymoChem's Branded Products division, remarked, "Achieving B Corp certification is a significant milestone for ZymoChem. It underscores our commitment to sustainability and our role in driving a real-zero economy. Not only do we provide brands with innovative bio-based solutions to enhance the sustainability of their offerings, but we also promote the health of our planet and its inhabitants."

The Sustainability Impact of ZymoChem

What truly sets ZymoChem apart is its proprietary Carbon Conserving (C2) microbes, which are designed to convert renewable feedstocks into bio-based materials while effectively minimizing carbon dioxide emissions. This breakthrough technology is essential for gradually replacing fossil fuel-derived materials with eco-friendly, biodegradable alternatives in a host of everyday products, including personal hygiene items that significantly contribute to landfill waste. According to estimates, hygiene products rank as the third-largest contributors to waste in U.S. landfills.

ZymoChem's dual status as both a Public Benefit Corporation and a Certified B Corporation™ solidifies its reputation as an industry leader in sustainability. With this recognition, ZymoChem aspires to inspire other biotech firms to adopt similar sustainability-oriented business models, demonstrating that companies can prioritize environmental and social impacts without sacrificing profitability.
