Using Business as
a Force for Good
At Wescott, we believe in creating positive impact in the communities where we live and work. Since 1987, we’ve partnered with local and national charities, educational institutions, and civic organizations because we understand that true prosperity includes giving back.
Certified B-Corporation*: More Than a Designation
In 2020, Wescott earned B-Corporation certification, a rigorous third-party verification that we meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. This designation reflects values we’ve held since our founding: that success should be shared, and that businesses have a responsibility to contribute to the greater good.
What B-Corp Certification Means:
Verified Impact
We’ve demonstrated measurable positive impact on workers, customers, community, and environment
Legal Accountability
We’re legally required to consider the impact of our decisions on all stakeholders, not just shareholders
Transparency
We publicly report on our sustainability and societal performance with the same rigor as our financial performance
Community
We’re part of a global movement of companies committed to redefining success in business
