Pizza Pilgrims has secured B Corp accreditation, joining over 8,000 businesses globally and more than 1,500 in the UK.
The Neapolitan pizza brand has been on its journey to certification over the last two years, to achieve their ultimate mission, “to make people happier, one pizza at a time.”
To achieve the certification, Pizza Pilgrims had to display verified performance, accountability, and transparency, on factors such as employee pay & benefits; engagement with its community; positive practices in the supply chain; and a long-term commitment to reduce its environmental impact.
Solidifying its commitment to B Corp, the business has made a legal commitment by changing their corporate governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders, not just shareholders.
Founder Thom Elliot says: “Ever since I first read about BCORP – I have felt it is a movement that I want Pizza Pilgrims to be a part of. We started the company to be a source of happiness – both for ourselves, but also our employees, customers, and the communities we serve.
”To have BCORP as a hugely credible third-party guide and inspiration for ensuring Pizza Pilgrims is a force for good in the future is an exciting step – and one I am proud to have achieved with the team.
”Pizza Pilgrims looks forward to being a part of the BCORP movement, sharing ideas and thoughts with other members of the community to be better every day. They hope to be an inspiration, and a source of education, for other hospitality businesses who are also keen to join the movement.
