Mindful Chef is the UK’s number one recipe box company on a mission to make healthy eating easy with their delicious recipes, healthy frozen meals, smoothies and broths. Set up in 2015 by three friends, Giles, Myles and Rob, Mindful Chef helps us eat healthier food - and helps the community and our planet, too. As well as becoming Climate Neutral in 2019, they’re on a journey to Net-Zero. The boxes offer zero food waste, plus they’re removing virgin plastics - and getting everything else widely recycled from the kerbside.

When it comes to food, healthy eating isn’t salad on repeat. These fresh recipe boxes are full of quality ingredients, as they support award-winning British farms, and only use 100% British meat, including beef from grass-fed native breeds, free-range chicken, and sustainably sourced fish. Available for 1-2 people and families, 40 recipes are available each week, including 15 vegan choices (and 2 approved by British Heart Foundation dietitians!). Every ingredient comes pre-portioned, meals are ready in as little as 10 minutes, and it’s all easy - including their flexible subscription. For every meal you enjoy, Mindful Chef donates a school meal to a child living in poverty through charity partner One Feeds Two. That’s 6 million meals, and counting!

Impact Area Scoresinfo_outline

info_outlineOverall B Impact Score

To certify as a B Corp, a company must achieve a minimum verified score of 80 points on the B Impact Assessment. The B Impact Assessment asks questions about how the day-to-day operations of a company create positive impact for the company’s workers, community, and environment. Additionally, companies can earn further points if their overall business model can be shown to create positive social and environmental impact as well, qualifying the company for specific Impact Business Model points.

Scores for Certified B Corporations are verified by the non-profit B Lab.

info_outlineImpact Area Scores

The questions in the B Impact Assessment are organized into five Impact Areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers. Click into a Impact Area to see topics covered in each. Topics in blue are Impact Business Models associated with that Impact Area where the company has earned additional credit. Due to rounding, displayed totals may not add up exactly.

The B Impact Assessment is customized to a company's size, sector, and geographic market.  However, within those parameters, there are still questions included in the B Impact Assessment that might not be relevant to a particular company. In cases where a question is not applicable, the potential points available for that question are instead earned based on the performance of the company on the other topics relevant to the stakeholder and summed up as "N/A points." Likewise, a score of N/A for Workers means that the company is a sole proprietor or partnership with no full-time staff, and a score of 0 or N/A for Customers means that the company does not have a specific Customer-focused Impact Business Model.

Each year, B Lab releases lists honoring the top-performing Certified B Corps in each Impact Area and overall, broken down by size, on the annual Best for the World lists.

info_outlineAdditional Documentation

B Lab may determine that a company should make additional material beyond their B Impact Report transparent in order for the public to be able to evaluate the company’s overall impact. This additional transparency may cover participation in a controversial industry, information shared on the company’s Disclosure Questionnaire, or simply a company’s relationship to a larger complex entity. Public companies and wholly-owned subsidiaries are required to make their full B Impact Assessments transparent to achieve B Corp Certification.
