B Impact Assessment
20 Case Studies
A B Impact Assessment Case Study
Cabot Cheese, a cheese and dairy manufacturer based in Montpelier, VT, used the B Impact Assessment to evaluate its social and environmental practices. The company described the tool as a “CAT scan” of its organization and used it over five years to better understand where it could improve on the path to B Corp certification.
With the B Impact Assessment, Cabot Cheese identified strengths and gaps across governance, workers, community, and environment, then used the insights to guide internal improvements and vendor/partner selection. B Impact Assessment helped Cabot Cheese achieve a B Impact Score of 85 and earn Certified B Corp status, with notable results including strong scores in community and environment.
