Social & Environmental Performance
B Corporation Report Card
| Score: | Did not qualify* |
|---|---|
| *According to the B Survey rating system, this enterprise qualifies as a “Beneficial Corporation” | |
Explanation of Results: The B Survey was created by the non-profit B Lab as a certification process for social and environmental performance. As such, their rating system did not always match with the values of the CFE study, but did serve to reveal where enterprises are strong in performance and where they could focus in the future. Though Sunstar’s products may not reach the neediest consumers and ownership of the enterprise is consolidated, we believe its achievements in fair- trade, the boost it provides to the local economy via significant local purchasing, its environmental advancements, progress toward a more balanced portfolio of export and domestic markets, and entrepreneurial creativity are noteworthy, and make Sunstar worthy of the being considered a “community food enterprise.”
