Kanna Health has officially obtained #BCorp certification! Verified by B Lab, the not-for-profit behind the B Corp movement, the achievement demonstrates that Kanna meets high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability alongside a commitment to goals beyond shareholder value.
B Corp Certification assesses the entirety of a business’ operations and currently covers five main impact areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers. The certification process is rigorous, with companies required to reach a score of 80 points in the B Impact Assessment while providing evidence of responsible practices relating to energy supplies, waste and water use, worker compensation, diversity, and corporate transparency.
At Kanna, we're on a mission to continue improving our impact and using business for good. Preserving traditional knowledge is central to our mission. We have a benefit-sharing agreement with the South African San Council, in compliance with the Nagoya Protocol. This agreement ensures collaboration with the San hunter-gatherers, the primary knowledge holders of the medicinal use of kanna, the plant that inspires our work.
We are proud to be one of the first biopharma companies who have earned this certification and we hope to inspire other companies in our field to change the industry for the better!
