The project
The Boniviri model of benefit companies and B Corp
When we talk about eating well, we mean business: Boniviri is a benefit corporation and certified B Corp and has clear social and environmental objectives that it pursues through its business model in a responsible and transparent manner.
In practice? The Boniviri model involves purchasing high-quality, healthy and sustainable products from excellent growers (the "Boniviri", people of value), engaging them in a path towards common sustainability goals and supporting the prosperity of their farms. In doing so, Boniviri rethinks the supply chain and packaging of products in an eco-friendly and responsible way and eliminates the organization's carbon footprint through offsetting projects.
From 10 July 2020
