EJIDO VERDE NAMED “BEST FOR THE WORLD” B CORP FOR ITS SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR
Michoacan’s Leading Regenerative Company is Recognized Globally for Environmental Business
MORELIA, MICHOACAN – July 13, 2022 – Every year, B Lab, the nonprofit network transforming the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet, recognizes top-performing B Corps creating great impact through their businesses. These B Corps are named “Best for the World™” as their verified scores in the five impact areas evaluated on the B Impact Assessment community, customers, environment, governance, and workers-are amongst the global top 5% in their corresponding size group.
“At this critical time in our climate crisis, we are grateful to have been recognized again as Best for the World,” said Shaun Paul, CEO of Ejido Verde. “We are proud to be among our peers, each sharing an incredible example of how business can earn a profit, benefit its communities, and take climate action. We must all be part of the solution, so I encourage interested business leaders to contact me to learn more about regenerative business.”
Ejido Verde is a regenerative pine-resin company positioned to become a lead supplier in the $10-billion global pine chemicals industry in partnership with rural and Indigenous Mexican communities and an array of Mexican and international organizations, including the United Nations Development Programme’s Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN). Relevant milestones announced this year by Ejido Verde include:
- Ejido Verde is planting 16,000 trees daily, adding 300 more hectares to its commercial agroforestry plantations under management, together with 800 family farms.
- In 2021, Ejido Verde generated 1,307 jobs in communities and offices (1,209 part-time jobs, 98 full-time equivalent jobs, which included 33 women, and 1,180 hours of formal training for rural and Indigenous communities in Michoacán).
