Superfood chocolate brand Doisy & Dam has become the 128th UK company to obtain B Corporation certification.

Commenting on the certification, co-founder Richard Wilkinson, says: “The B Corp certification has given us an opportunity to hold ourselves accountable to social and environmental standards in an open, honest and transparent way. We hope implementing this whilst we’re still small will enable us to evolve into a company which holds profit equal to its positive impact on the world.  We believe there is a huge opportunity for us to do so much more and to build our business in such a way that we have a positive impact on the world.”

Specifically the company has committed to:

  • Buying cocoa directly from source by 2018
