Royal Wessanen

ABOUT US

Our purpose is to connect people to nature and by doing so help them make better food choices for their own health and the health of our planet. In order to do this, we will create a new kind of food company. A company that is inspired by nature in everything we do.

Our mission is to speed up the transformation to sustainable food. We must change the way we consume and produce our food – and the time is now. We need to reconnect our food with nature and at Wessanen we have made a good start.

We...

• have been promoting organic and vegetarian food for more than 30 years.
• have taken steps towards plastic free
• are planting trees to neutralise emissions
• are now part of the B Corp movement

In 2019 we have achieved the full B Corp group certification, making Wessanen Europe the first multinational food business to achieve this. To us, B Corp is a recognition of the work all the team does – from the products that we make, the initiatives we take to the green energy that we use in the company and to recognise that we produce a positive impact.

How do you achieve the B Corp certification? To achieve the B Corp certification a company needs to pass an extensive impact assessment in the categories Governance, Community, Environment, Workers and Customers. It is an evaluation of every single action a company takes, and it takes at least 80 points to pass. Wessanen has achieved a total of 91.7, which is the consolidated score of all Wessanen companies.

What do we, as a B Corp company, now do differently? Nothing. But we certainly don’t sit back on our heels. We work every day to build on our success and continue making the world a little better. Healthier food for healthier people and a healthier world.
