O'NEILL VINTNERS & DISTILLERS EARNS B CORP CERTIFICATION

LARK­SPUR, Calif., June 22, 2022 /​PRNewswire/​-- O'Neill Vint­ners & Dis­tillers, one of the fastest-grow­ing winer­ies in Cal­i­for­nia, announces today its B Corp Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, which dis­tin­guish­es com­pa­nies that meet high stan­dards of social and envi­ron­men­tal per­for­mance, account­abil­i­ty, and trans­paren­cy.

This is a pro­found achieve­ment for a com­pa­ny of our size in an indus­try so close­ly con­nect­ed to peo­ple and the plan­et," says Founder and CEO Jeff O'Neill. ​"We are hon­ored to receive this dis­tinc­tion and become part of the B Corp community."

O'Neill is the 10^th largest wine com­pa­ny in the US and now the largest B Corp Cer­ti­fied win­ery in North Amer­i­ca. Caine Thomp­son, Sus­tain­abil­i­ty Lead for O'Neill Vint­ners & Dis­tillers notes, ​"B Corp Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion was a nat­ur­al pro­gres­sion for O'Neill, who has been striv­ing for envi­ron­men­tal and social respon­si­bil­i­ty since its found­ing in 2004."
