Cultivated meat pioneer joins the global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact.<\/h4>\n

Maastricht, Netherlands, Sept. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mosa Meat<\/a>, a leader in cultivated beef production, announced today to have become a Certified B Corporation\"\u2122\". This marks a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to creating a more sustainable food system and bringing together partners, investors and suppliers who use business as a force for good. Upon certification, Mosa Meat became the first cultivated meat company worldwide to become B Corp\"\u2122\" Certified.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2016, Mosa Meat gained international acclaim in 2013 when its founders, Mark Post and Peter Verstrate, introduced the world’s first cultivated beef hamburger grown directly from cow cells. Since then, the company has been dedicated to producing real beef in a manner that benefits people, animals, and the planet. Mosa Meat’s B Corp\"\u2122\" Certification validates its mission to fundamentally reshape the global food system, showcasing its environmental and social performance, commitment to accountability, transparency and leadership in driving economic systems change.<\/p>\n

“We are thrilled to become B Corp Certified,” <\/em>said Maarten Bosch<\/strong>, CEO of Mosa Meat. “This certification validates our commitment to sustainable practices and ethical foundations as well as strengthens our position as trendsetters in the global cellular agriculture movement. We believe in creating real, delicious meat that positively impacts the climate and our food system and are optimistic that these values will be shared across the many stakeholders in our nascent field of cellular agriculture.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Leonardo DiCaprio<\/strong>, advisor and investor said \u201cMosa Meat continues to be a champion for change. I am proud to see Mosa Meat be the first cultivated meat company in the world to become B Corp Certified and hope it is the first of many.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

To receive B Corp\"\u2122\" Certification<\/a> businesses are assessed on performance, accountability, and transparency in their social and environmental impact. They are holistically evaluated on aspects ranging from governance and mission to environmental practices, workers’ welfare and supply chain practices. With this certification Mosa Meat joins a community of caring, responsible and courageous leaders like Patagonia, Amy\u2019s Kitchen, and Ben & Jerry’s that have become a Certified B Corporation\"\u2122\" previously.<\/p>\n

After more than a year of thorough evaluation, Mosa Meat became B Corp\"\u2122\" Certified with two Impact Business Models<\/a> (IBMs): \u2018Resource Conservation\u2019 and \u2018Mission Locked\u2019.<\/p>\n
