Rubicon Global Headquarters

Rubicon Global, North America’s leading provider of sustainable waste and recycling solutions announces it is proud to stand among 515+ Certified B Corporations. B Corporations are a new kind of company that uses the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. Rubicon Global joins a league of corporations that believe business is the most powerful way to create change. Other Certified B Corporations include Patagonia, Seventh Generation, and Etsy.

“Rubicon Global’s mission and values are closely aligned with the goals of B Corp because we believe there is a better way to do business”, said Nate Morris, CEO of Rubicon Global. “We know that creating transparency, accountability, and sustainability in our industry will benefit our customers as well as the environment.”

Certified B Corporations meet higher standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. The performance standards are comprehensive and transparent. They measure a company’s impact on its employees, suppliers, community, and the environmental. Rubicon Global earned 103.2 points on its 2012 B Impact Assessment with governance and the environment as “Areas of Excellence”. The company will continuously work to improve its B score and will go through an assessment review every two years.

"Rubicon Global represents the future of waste and recycling and we are proud to have them join our community of Certified B Corporations," says B Lab co-founder Andrew Kassoy. "Their innovative approach, which promotes sustainability, transparency, and economic efficiency, is helping America's top companies reduce landfill tonnage and protect our communities."
