ZymoChem Achieves Certified B Corporation™ Status

SAN LEANDRO, Calif., Jan. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ZymoChem, the biotech company creating sustainable materials for everyday products, is proud to announce that it is now a Certified B Corporation™. This highlights the company's dedication to meeting high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency set by B Lab™.

Building on its designation as a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), ZymoChem is recognized for considering its impact on people, planet, and profit across its operations.

What It Means to Be a B Corp™

Certified B Corporations™ are part of a global community using business as a force for good. B Corps meet rigorous standards of verified performance weighing the impact of their decisions on workers, customers, suppliers, communities, and the environment.

By earning this certification, ZymoChem joins a network of over 9,000 businesses worldwide committed to fostering a more inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economic system.

"Achieving B Corp certification is a significant milestone for ZymoChem," said Joe Giallanella, General Manager of ZymoChem's Branded Products division. "It underscores our commitment to sustainability and our role in driving a real-zero economy. We not only help brands improve the sustainability of their products when they adopt our innovative bio-based solutions, we also impact the health of people and the planet."

ZymoChem's Impact

ZymoChem's proprietary Carbon Conserving (C²) microbes transform renewable feedstocks into bio-based materials while minimizing carbon dioxide emissions. This breakthrough technology enables the replacement of fossil-based ingredients with bio-derived, low-carbon, and biodegradable alternatives in everyday products. For example, ZymoChem's solutions address the environmental challenges posed by hygiene products, which are the third-largest contributor to U.S. landfill waste.

The dual recognition as a PBC and a B Corp solidifies ZymoChem's reputation as a sustainability leader in the biotechnology industry – and it aims to inspire other companies in the sector to embed sustainability and social impact into their business models.
