Fermentation is the change that occurs when microorganisms multiply in food. This phenomenon is called fermentation. Spoilage is also a change that occurs due to the increase of microorganisms in food. Both are microbial activities.

B Corp certification can be said to be a system to promote the creation of a sustainable society by standardizing the contents of the evaluation, which was a self-declaration system in the conventional Benefit Corporation, and by strictly examining it.

For this reason, B Corp certification not only has a positive impact on society and the environment through products and services, but also provides a high level of fairness and transparency through the sharing of activities and the disclosure of information. Another characteristic is that companies are required to carry out activities that bring about a positive impact.

Growing interest in realizing a sustainable society

It can be said that the reason why B Corp certification is attracting attention is that the global movement to search for a sustainable society has become active.

As explained earlier, the B Corp certification is a means of evaluating companies that aim not only for their own profit but also for the public good, and is a certification label that conducts examinations from multiple perspectives such as society and the environment.

Many people, such as local communities and local governments, are involved in corporate activities, even if they do not exchange money like shareholders and employees. In recent years, CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), which incorporates the existence of stakeholders and the concept of accountability, exactly matches the purpose of B Corp certification.

In addition, in recent years, the concept of "ethical" that encourages ethical purchasing and consumption behavior and "regenerative" that regenerates and restores the environment around the production area is also spreading. Along with this movement, B Corp certification, which incorporates various perspectives, has been attracting attention.
