Horizon Organic, the first USDA certified organic dairy brand and largest supplier of organic milk, and Wallaby, its sister brand of Australian-style yogurt and organic Greek yogurt, announced they have achieved B Corp Certification.
Third-party B Lab manages an evaluation process that requires that for-profit businesses meet high standards of verified performance, accountability and transparency in a number of areas from employee benefits to supply chain practices to input materials to charitable giving.
Both Horizon Organic and Wallaby were B Corp Certified under Danone North America’s B Corp Certification. Following the acquisition of both brands by Platinum Equity in April of this year, the brands elected to earn their own B Corp Certification.
