B Corp™ Certification for Burg Group
How Burg Group became B Corp™ Certified with help from The Terrace
Who is the client?
Burg Group is a family-owned producer of natural vinegar and syrups. Sustainability is already strongly embedded in the company’s daily operations, with a focus on natural ingredients, CO₂ reduction, circularity and responsible sourcing.
What was the challenge?
Burg Group had already made significant progress on sustainability and B Corp-related initiatives. Although sustainability was already deeply embedded in Burg Group’s operations, many practices were informal or spread across different teams. Demonstrating this impact through the structured evidence, documentation and governance required for B Corp certification presented a new challenge.
They asked The Terrace to support them throughout the B Corp journey: identifying gaps, formalising procedures and guiding them through the verification phase. Our role was not to take over the process, but to equip the team with the clarity, knowledge and structure needed to take ownership themselves.
What was our approach?
Rather than introducing entirely new sustainability initiatives, we helped Burg Group unlock the value of the work they had already done. By translating existing practices into the B Corp framework, we enabled the organisation to demonstrate its impact in a way that met the certification requirements.
Together with the Burg Group team, we translated existing policies, practices and sustainability efforts into the B Corp framework. This helped the organisation demonstrate its impact clearly, gather the right evidence and prepare for the next steps in the certification process.
Our support included:
- conducting a gap analysis against the B Impact Assessment
- prioritising the actions required for certification
- developing and formalising relevant policies and practices
- collecting documentation across departments for verification
- supporting the team throughout the certification process
- acting as a sparring partner for questions, decisions and next steps
The approach was practical and collaborative: strengthening what was already in place, making implicit practices explicit and helping internal teams connect their day-to-day work to the broader impact framework.
What was the result?
Burg Group successfully achieved B Corp certification and is now better equipped to maintain and further strengthen its impact strategy. Beyond certification, the project created greater internal ownership, clearer governance and a stronger foundation for continuous improvement. By making existing practices more visible, structured and evidence-based, sustainability became more firmly embedded in governance, decision-making and day-to-day operations. Burg Group successfully achieved B Corp certification with a beautiful score of 99.3 points.
Burg Group has already taken a lot of big steps in the field of sustainability the B Corp certification now also provides external recognition for those efforts. The certification process has really helped Burg Group further standardize, document and embed its sustainability practices across the organization, making its approach more structured, transparent and resilient.
The B Corp framework requires companies to improve over time and offers a clear path for strengthening sustainability efforts in the future. This really helps Burg Group to further increase its impact, improve year after year and continue developing as an organization. This mindset of continuous improvement is closely aligned with what Burg Group values and stands for.
