Just Salad has earned B Corp certification, which means it completed an extensive review process — administered by B Lab — to assess performance across five impact categories, including workers, communities, customers, suppliers and the environment, according to a company press release. A company must earn a minimum verified score of 80 points on the B Impact Assessment to achieve the status.

"Just Salad's B Corp Certification represents our founding mission to build a responsible restaurant business and the 17-year journey we've taken to deliver on this vision to date," Just Salad CEO and Founder Nick Kenner said in the release. "We are immensely proud to be joining a community of like-minded leaders balancing purpose and profit, and look forward to strengthening our ongoing commitment to accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement."

B Corp is made up of over 6,000 companies in 89 countries and over 160 industries that meet high standards of social and environmental impact.

"We are thrilled to welcome Just Salad into our global community of Certified B Corporations who are dedicated to redefining success in business and shaping the future," Jodi Beasley, senior director of Community at B Lab U.S. & Canada, said in the release. "Just Salad is paving the way for other restaurant chains to adopt programs that minimize their climate impact, and we applaud their leadership in creating a more sustainable and equitable future for all."

Just Salad was founded in 2006 and has over 70 locations in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Dubai.
