This statement is puzzling

ur commitment to truly traceable practices, proven through third-party certifications — Certified USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified, Gluten Free, NSF and Informed Choice Certified, and most of all, B CORP — is foundational to who we are. Nestlé sees our value and wants to help us as we pursue our mission. Is Nestle becoming pro Organic and health and non GMO all of the sudden?

Ugh. I hate nestle.

OnAMission · 12-08-2017, 10:10 AM

That is really disappointing. I like their B-complex

Not a chance. They answer only to their stockholders.

Does anyone know how independent they will be run? If they are still able to stay as a b-corp then they must still be fairly leagel separately run.

I've never heard of that terminology so I don't know what it means. They are getting lots of feedback on their Facebook page, to which they seem to be making an effort to respond.

" B Corp is to business what Fair Trade certification is to coffee or USDA Organic certification is to milk.

B Corps are for-profit companies certified by the nonprofit B Lab to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.

Today, there is a growing community of more than 2,100 Certified B Corps from 50 countries and over 130 industries working together toward 1 unifying goal: to redefine success in business."

Taken from bcorporation.net there are several locally so I know what they are.

Did you see all the comments on their Facebook announcement? Talk about not knowing your customer base...

"Upon closing, Atrium will become an independent operating division within the Nestlé Health Science business. The Company will continue to operate as it has prior to the acquisition, with no changes to its strong brands and primary locations globally."

Not saying I believe no it but this is what they are saying. http://www.businesswire.com/news/hom...A9-2.3-Billion
