Certified B Corporation.

B Corp Certification

Meeting The Highest Standards of Excellence

In 2021, Noodle underwent a rigorous certification process to be named a B Corp, a designation for companies that meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. As a B Corp, Noodle joins a distinguished group of businesses including Ben & Jerry’s, Intrepid Travel, Patagonia, Thrive Market, Toms and Warby Parker.

The B Corp Certification doesn’t just evaluate a product or service – it assesses the overall positive impact of the company that stands behind it. Using the B Impact Assessment, B Lab evaluates how a company’s operations and business model impact its workers, community, environment, and customers. To achieve the B Corp Certification, a company must achieve a score of at least 80 points on the assessment.
