Part of a global movement working to benefit people and the planet
Nocla is a certified B Corp
Certified B Corporations meet high standards for social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
For us, that means taking responsibility for the full picture – from the ingredients we choose to the way we run our business. It’s about working within a framework that makes expectations explicit and challenges us to raise the bar over time.
Our B Corp score
Certification requires a minimum of 80 out of 200 points, based on a rigorous and independently verified assessment.
Our score shows how we are doing across the business. It’s not a finish line, but a tool and a benchmark we use to understand where we are – and where we need to do better.

Impact embedded in how we do business
Nocla was founded with the ambition to develop flavourful, functional and more responsible food solutions – built on high-quality organic ingredients and short, transparent ingredient lists.
As a certified B Corp, our responsibility towards people, the environment and society is not a separate initiative. It’s embedded in how we operate, make decisions and grow our business.
