Sustainability is no longer a buzzword; it's a necessity. And ZymoChem, the biotech innovator creating eco-friendly materials for everyday products, is stepping up in a big way. The company has officially joined the ranks of Certified B Corporations™, a global movement of businesses redefining what success looks like by prioritizing people and the planet alongside profit.

For ZymoChem, this milestone represents more than a badge of honor. It's a promise to meet the rigorous social and environmental standards set by B Lab™ while driving forward a real-zero economy.

Why Being a B Corp Matters

Certified B Corporations are the gold standard for socially and environmentally conscious businesses. From supply chains to stakeholder engagement, these companies commit to weighing every decision’s impact on their workers, customers, communities, and the environment.

With over 9,000 certified businesses worldwide, B Corps are proving that profitability and purpose can go hand in hand. ZymoChem now joins this growing network of innovators striving for a more inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economic system.

“Achieving B Corp certification is a significant milestone for ZymoChem,” says Joe Giallanella, General Manager of the company’s Branded Products division. “It underscores our commitment to sustainability and our role in driving a real-zero economy. We not only help brands improve the sustainability of their products with our bio-based solutions but also contribute to the health of people and the planet.”

ZymoChem’s Carbon-Conserving Breakthrough

ZymoChem’s technology is rewriting the playbook for sustainable biotech. At its core are proprietary Carbon Conserving (C2) microbes that transform renewable feedstocks into bio-based materials with minimal carbon dioxide emissions. These innovations allow everyday products to replace fossil-based ingredients with low-carbon, biodegradable alternatives.

One of the most significant applications? Hygiene products. These staples of modern life are the third-largest contributors to landfill waste in the U.S. With ZymoChem’s solutions, brands can tackle this environmental challenge head-on while reducing their carbon footprint.

Leading the Sustainability Charge

As both a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) and now a Certified B Corp, ZymoChem is leading by example. Its dual recognition solidifies the company’s position as a sustainability pioneer in biotechnology, inspiring other companies to prioritize social and environmental impact in their business models.

ZymoChem’s mission goes beyond products—it’s about transforming entire industries. By proving that cutting-edge technology can align with sustainability and profitability, the company is paving the way for a greener, more responsible future.
