Being the world’s first Certified B Corp grocery store sure means a lot to us here at New Seasons Market. Find out what it means for you and the communities we serve.
When we opened our doors in 2000, our mission was simple: connect our community to good food. Since then, that commitment has only grown stronger. With the support of our community, we became the world’s first Certified B Corp grocery store in 2013—proving that business can be a force for good, with a triple bottom line that values people, the planet, and profit.
Why B Corp?
We set our sights on B Corp certification because being a member of the B Corp community aligns with our commitment to support the regional food economy, source socially responsible products, contribute to the communities we serve, inspire environmental stewardship, and care for our people.
For New Seasons, B Corp represents the steps we’re taking in the right direction toward a brighter, more sustainable future. That’s something worth celebrating—with you!
What Makes a B Corp Different?
B Corp certification, awarded by the independent rating agency B Lab, recognizes companies that use business as a force for good—meeting high standards of accountability, transparency, and social impact. For us, that commitment runs deep, from employee benefits to charitable giving to responsible product sourcing.
As the world’s first B Corp-certified grocer, we’ve only strengthened our commitments over the years. Today, we partner with over 150 fellow B Corps, bringing hundreds of certified products to our shelves. We’re proud to stand with businesses that uphold rigorous global standards for social, environmental, and workplace responsibility—because doing good is just good business.
Here’s to Local B Corps!
With more than 25 B Corp-certified vendor partners in the Pacific Northwest alone, we’re excited to help shine a light on fellow B Corps, including some of our favorite local businesses.
The next time you shop at your neighborhood New Seasons, look for the B Corp logo and support B Corp brands, like Rouge Creamery (the first company in Oregon to obtain B Corp certification!), Brew Dr. Kombucha, Hopworks Urban Brewery, Rogue Creamery, Nossa Familia Coffee, Tillamook, Yogi Tea, and many more.
Oregon also has more B Corp-certified wineries than any other wine-growing region or country worldwide. And we carry most of them. Look for these B Corp wines when you shop:
A to Z Wineworks, Stoller Family Estate, Winderlea Vineyard & Winery, Sokol Blosser Winery, Patton Valley Vineyard, Chehalem Winery, Brooks Winery, Davis Hill Vineyard & Winery, Et Fille, and Union Wine Company.
