New England Biolabs (NEB), a supplier of innovative products tailored for molecular biology research, announced on Thursday that it has achieved recertification as a B Corporation (B Corp).

NEB said that it remains one of the few life-science companies to achieve this certification, which requires for-profit businesses to meet high standards of social and environmental impact.

To become certified, NEB exceeded standards across various areas of governance, including customer stewardship, treatment of employees, environmental protection and community engagement.
