B Corp Businesses

 Activated Probiotics

Activated Probiotics mission is to improve the quality of life, prevent disease, and make products accessible to all. They achieve this by using recyclable materials where possible such as blister packs, sachets, and also taking this into account when printing promotional materials such as tote bags and information materials. They also utilise digital formats where possible. 

They pride themselves in creating a confident working environment where employees have room to grow professionally as well as providing 1-1 support, allowing additional wellness days on top of annual leave, and giving everyone within the company the option to be a shareholder. This approach also reflects in their marketing as they focus on education first, with the aim to improve life and to empower their customers.

Invivo

Having first become B Corp certified in 2017 and later renewing their certificate in 2022, Invivo’s mission is to help people feel better, understand how the human body interacts with the many organisms that co-inhabits its ecosystem, and cultivate a better balance within themselves. 

Invivo works to serve all of its stakeholders by integrating sustainability into every facet of the organisation. This includes through their laboratory processes, product packaging, sourcing materials, and encouraging sustainable behaviour across sites. 

The majority of Invivo products are sold in glass containers, however they are striving to make their products even more recyclable by switching to compost packaging for certain products. Invivo believes that being a certified B Corp means being a force for good and being driven by more than just share price and stakeholders. They have introduced the menstrual and menopause policy as well as volunteering programs to create a ‘business for good’ ethos within their workforce.

Nutri Advanced

Having recently joined forces with B Corp certified Metagenics, Nutri Advanced are always looking for new ways they can be sustainable and kinder to the environment as a business through every stage of production to delivery. They are reviewing their packaging options and taking into consideration the limitations that come with certain product packaging and how recyclable the materials are. Using HDPE plastic pots means that they can be easily recycled at home. 

As well as recycling packaging, Nutri Advanced converts their cardboard into eco-friendly packaging. This creates lighter weighted parcels which subsequently saves on fuel and shipping costs. As well as their products, Nutri Advanced are striving to make their workplace more sustainable and eco friendly by implementing a hybrid working scheme as well as a cycle to work scheme and providing recycling bins in every office space.
