We’re Officially a B Corp
Uniting for Impact: Celebrating Our Global B Corp Certification™ B Corps like Vector meet high verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. At Vector Global Logistics, we’re beyond excited to share that we’ve achieved something truly special – our B Corp Certification™. Joining just over 8,000 companies worldwide, B Corps are for-profit companies dedicated to using business as a force for good. Unlike traditional corporations, B Corps are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on all stakeholders: customers, workers, communities, and the environment. This certification further proves that we at Vector are living out our motto, Logistics With Purpose®. Hear directly from Vector Global Logistics managing directors: “This is a monumental day in Vector’s history,” says Vector Global Logistics Co-Founder and Managing Director Enrique Alvarez. “Though purpose, giving back, and being a force for good has been part of our DNA since day one, obtaining a B Corp Certification™ is a significant step for us. We will continue to push our industry forward and create a positive impact. And we are excited to do that alongside the incredible B Corp community.” |
Brian Oxley, Vector Global Logistics Co-Founder and US Managing Director, continues, “It is our long-held belief that logistics and supply chain are a great place to start when you want to create change. We are proud of all that our team has accomplished to this point, and know that a B Corp Certification™ will propel us even further.” Sergio Cervantes, Vector Global Logistics Managing Director notes, “In our company, logistics is not only efficient, but also socially responsible. As an organization committed to the well-being of communities and the environment, we are proud to be certified as a B Corp, demonstrating our commitment to ethical and sustainable business practices.” And José Miguel Irarrázaval, Vector Global Logistics Managing Director, ends with, “One of the pillars of the company is to be a part of our communities, give back, and contribute to their development. The certification as a B Corp is an important milestone as it recognizes that we are aligned to this pillar as part of our strategy. Congratulations to all our collaborators and stakeholders!” Achieving B Corp Certification™ is a rigorous process and took a concerted effort of our team across multiple departments in several countries. The certification is based on three essential pillars. First, to meet the performance requirement, a company must earn a minimum, verified score of 80 points on the B Impact Assessment, which examines a company’s overall impact on its workers, community, customers, and environment. Second, once certified, each B Corp must make its B Impact Report transparent at B Corporation, allowing the public to see the areas in which specific companies excel and compare B Corps’ scores against the performance of mainstream businesses. And third, by meeting the legal requirement for certification, B Corps like Vector are better able to maintain mission as they scale.
