St Ewe Free Range Eggs has been awarded B Corp certification, making it the UK’s first egg packer to achieve this status.
It is also the first EU-based egg packing brand to achieve this certification in Europe.
The brand said the accreditation cemented its position as the “brand leading the way as a force for good in the UK egg category”.
The accreditation is a huge step forward for the Cornwall-based business, it said, as it continues to work hard to set a benchmark for ethical and sustainable food production, and encourage the wider industry to hold themselves to those same standards.
“Becoming part of the B Corp movement is just the beginning of our journey at St Ewe,” said founder and CEO Rebecca Tonks. “This process has sharpened our focus, strengthened our values and culture, and guided us in implementing social and sustainable measures to ensure our business is fit to feed generations to come.”
To be awarded the B Corp certification, businesses must meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
“The application process has given us the opportunity to improve for our team, farmers and customers, which will undoubtedly put us in a strong position as we continue to grow the business,” said Martin Glinski, MD. “I think achieving recognition for B Corp is a great testament to the work that all our team do to produce high-welfare delicious eggs.
“Hopefully it provides reassurance to our team, customers and farmers that we really do care about their welfare and the health of our environment and communities.”
St Ewe doubled its market share in December 2024 compared to 2023 and has increased its distribution with the major multiples.
