Pizza Pilgrims earns B Corp Status

Pizza Pilgrims has officially secured B Corp certification, joining over 8,000 businesses globally and more than 1,500 in the UK.

Over the last two years, the whole team at Pizza Pilgrims has been working to secure B Corp accreditation across every element of the business.

To achieve B Corp certification, Pizza Pilgrims had to display verified performance, accountability, and transparency, on factors such as employee pay and benefits; engagement with its community; positive practices in the supply chain; and a long-term commitment to reduce its environmental impact.

The group also made a legal commitment by changing its corporate governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders, not just shareholders.

Thom Elliot, founder of Pizza Pilgrims, said: “Ever since I first read about B Corp – I have felt it is a movement that I want Pizza Pilgrims to be a part of. We started the company to be a source of happiness – both for ourselves, but also our employees, customers, and the communities we serve. To have B Corp as a hugely credible third-party guide and inspiration for ensuring Pizza Pilgrims is a force for good in the future is an exciting step – and one I am proud to have achieved with the team.

“Pizza Pilgrims looks forward to being a part of the B Corp movement, sharing ideas and thoughts with other members of the community to be better every day. They hope to be an inspiration, and a source of education, for other hospitality businesses who are also keen to join the movement.”
