We continue to focus on having a positive impact on our communities, the environment and our employees, as we believe through these initiatives we can deliver on our promise of better to more, and ultimately drive returns for our shareholders. It truly is an honour to be a part of such a great community of B Corp members." said Aaron Skelton, COO of GreenSpace Brands Inc.
