At A to Z Wineworks, we believe that business should be conducted as if people and places matter, which is why becoming a B Corp was so in-tune with our values. Now, we’re celebrating our 10th anniversary as the first B Corp winery in the U.S. Certified B Corps are organizations that undergo rigorous assessment by the non-profit B Lab in order to verify performance standards for social and environmental accountability and transparency. B Corps change their legal language to take into account all of their stakeholders. That means working to conduct commerce with conscience with everyone: our best partners, those who make and drink our wine, and our community. From its founding, A to Z has been on a mission to offer dependable, quality wine accessible for all. #BCorp #BusinessforGood
