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 its products may not reach the neediest consumers and ownership of the enterprise is consolidated, we believe Anna Marie Seafood’s strong innovations in environmentally-sensitive fishing methods and gear (especially in an industry most often criticized for its environmental impacts), its pioneering and entrepreneurial use of onboard freezing, and achievements in direct marketing in an American market dominated by foreign farmed shrimp, make Anna Marie Seafood worthy of being considered a “community food enterprise.”
