RECOGNIZED: The Tillamook County Creamery Association is being recognized and certified for its stewardship. The cooperative has earned B Corp certification and joins a group of socially aware businesses from around the world. B Corporation certification is called a key milestone on the co-op s stewardship journey.
The effort took some work, but recently Tillamook County Creamery Association earned a key certification and third-party endorsement for its work on stewardship. The cooperative became a Certified B Corporation, which recognizes the organization for its work in a range of key stewardship areas.
Farm Progress caught up with Paul Snyder, executive vice president of stewardship at Tillamook, to discuss the certification and put it into perspective for farmers. He shares why the cooperative sought this certification, and now joins more than 3,500 global companies with this recognition.
