Family-owned Bigelow Tea is now a registered Benefit Corporation, a category of firms that designate social responsibility as a core business goal in the pursuit of a positive social and environmental impact. The company, which employs 400, was founded 75 years ago by Ruth Campbell Bigelow who formulated Constant Comment, one of the world’s most successful tea blends.
Cindi Bigelow, third-generation president & c.e.o. said “Our purpose has always been about much more than making profits and making tea, so the more I learned, the more I knew a Benefit Corporation was something I truly felt captured the spirit of our company -- a company that is inspired by more than just making a profit.”
“Clearly, we need to maintain strong profitability,” she added, “but we should never lose sight of the fact that we also need to focus on doing good things with the power we hold inside this company.”
