We are thrilled to announce today we are now B Corp Certified!

In a world where collective action is increasingly crucial to address society's most critical challenges, we have taken a significant step forward. As mission-driven individuals striving to make the world a better place, achieving B Corp™ certification is not just a badge of honor for us; it's a commitment to a higher standard of responsibility.

Our certification demonstrates our dedication to the mission to reshape the global food system. We are willing to be held publicly accountable to the highest ethical and environmental standards. And we hope other cultivated meat and seafood companies will follow suit.

Maarten, our CEO said: "We are thrilled to become B Corp Certified. This certification validates our commitment to sustainable practices and ethical foundations as well as strengthens our position as trendsetters in the global cellular agriculture movement. We believe in creating real, delicious meat that positively impacts the climate and our food system and are optimistic that these values will be shared across the many stakeholders in our nascent field of cellular agriculture."

Leonardo DiCaprio, advisor and investor said “Mosa Meat continues to be a champion for change. I am proud to see Mosa Meat be the first cultivated meat company in the world to become B Corp Certified and hope it is the first of many.”

And we’re in good company: we’re joining a community of businesses that are spearheading the transformation of the global economic system. This community includes pioneers like The Body Shop, Patagonia, Alpro, and Imperfect Foods, all of whom share the same values and commitment to change. Together, these companies create standards, policies, tools, and programs that challenge the traditional behavior, culture, and structure of capitalism. They are rewriting the rules of the game, pushing all businesses to balance profit and purpose. This collective effort is igniting a movement where businesses become a force for good.

Achieving receive B Corp™ Certification is no small feat. To businesses are assessed on performance, accountability, and transparency in their social and environmental impact. They are holistically evaluated on aspects ranging from governance and mission to environmental practices, workers' welfare and supply chain practices. These values, often lacking in many parts of the current food system, are now firmly embedded in the company's DNA.

After more than a year of thorough evaluation, we are now certified with two Impact Business Models (IBMs): ‘Resource Conservation’ and ‘Mission Locked’. 

• Resource Conservation recognizes products/services that reduce resource use (energy and water)

• Mission locked recognizes companies that protect their mission and ability to formally consider stakeholders in decision making through their corporate structure or corporate governing documents

For an IBM certification, companies need to demonstrate principles that are specific, material, verifiable, lasting, and extraordinary. While the B Corp™ process is quite selective for companies to go through, gaining an IBM is considered to be even more challenging. 

Today we are taking another step towards delivering on our mission and we firmly believe that together, we can build a world where businesses are a force for good, striving to do no harm and benefit all.
