Sustainable Dog Nutrition Brand is Among the Top Five Percent of Certified B Corps Worldwide
OAKLAND, Calif., July 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Petaluma, maker of sustainable dog food and treats, is proud to announce that it has been named a 2022 Best for the World™ B Corp by B Lab in recognition of its outstanding positive impact on the environment. The company’s mission to reduce the carbon pawprint of the pet food industry has placed the brand among the top five percent of Certified B Corps globally based on its verified B Impact Score in its corresponding size group.
“From day one, we have promised to keep our commitment to our pets and the planet at the forefront of every decision we face as a company without compromise, even when the right choice means taking a harder path,” said Garrett Wymore, CEO and Co-Founder of Petaluma. “The Best for the World honor is validation that Petaluma’s fresh approach to dog food is paving the way for a cleaner future not only for our four-legged friends but for all of us who call Earth home. With so much work left to be done as a collective, we’re channeling our excitement from this achievement into motivation to continue exploring ways we can do our part.”
Petaluma is redefining pet food with plant-based nutrition that provides all the nutrients dogs need to thrive with a dramatically smaller footprint and without the use of factory-farmed animal proteins. The brand’s veterinarian-formulated food and treats replace resource-intensive ingredients with sustainable alternatives that require far less land, water, and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to its B Corp Certification, Petaluma is also Climate Neutral Certified and a 1% for the Planet member.
“Each Best for the World edition is an opportunity to raise the bar for how businesses can and should operate to create real and lasting positive impact for their workers, customers, communities, and the environment,” said Dan Osusky, Head of Standards and Insights at B Lab Global. “While no company is perfect and even the best companies can and should continue to strive to improve, the B Corps recognized as Best for the World can provide us all — standards setters, B Corps, non-B Corps, and sustainability advocates — with inspiration on what true leadership in business can look like to make progress on addressing our current global challenges.”
The Best for the World recognition is administered by B Lab, the global nonprofit network that certifies and mobilizes B Corps, which are businesses that meet high standards of positive social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. Today, there are more than 5,000 B Corps across 80 countries and 155 industries, unified by one common goal: building an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economic system.

The Supreme Court last month limited how the nation’s main anti-air pollution law can be used to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. Then late Thursday, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said he wants to delay sweeping environmental legislation that Democrats have pushed as central to achieving Biden's ambitious climate goals.
