A to Z Wineworks Recognized as a 'Best for the World' B Corporation
B Lab has recognized Oregon’s A to Z Wineworks as a ‘Best Overall’ company in its annual
assessment of certified B Corporations. Fewer than 200 companies globally achieved this
designation, which is conferred to organizations which meet the highest standards of ethical and
sustainable business.
B Corporations are for-profit companies certified by the nonprofit B Lab to meet rigorous standards
of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. B Corporations strive to
redefine success in business with the aim of creating shared and durable prosperity. Other notable B
Corporations include Patagonia, Seventh Generation, Method Products, and Ben and Jerry’s.
A to Z has been recognized for three years as a ‘Best for the World’ organization in the ‘Best for
Community’ category. In 2017 it is newly celebrated in the ‘Best for Environment’ and ‘Best
Overall’ categories. To be named a ‘Best Overall’ company, A to Z Wineworks scored in the top 10
percent of all B Corporations in B Lab’s third-party certified impact assessment.
2017 has been a milestone year for A to Z Wineworks, which celebrates its 15th year offering wines
which capture The Essence of Oregon™. A to Z has steadily grown to become Oregon’s topselling
wine brand, and was awarded status as Oregon’s first Impact Hot Brand earlier this year, based
on 2016 performance. A to Z’s commercial success allows the winery to continue expanding efforts
to use business for good, truly making A to Z wines ‘work.’
