In last week’s blog we talked about AMS’ commitment to sustainable packaging, and we mentioned that Climate Week is coming up in New York City from September 20 to September 27, 2026.
The event is hosted by the international non-profit Climate Group in coordination with the UN General Assembly. The event will feature flagship plenaries, roundtables, and breakout sessions. There will be over 1,000 in-person, virtual, and hybrid events across the city spanning environmental themes focused on implementation and action. Readers can follow this [LINK] for more info on this important event.
AMS is a B Corporation
We understand that B Lab, the creator of B Corporation certification, will be participating in the Climate Week events, and we’re feeling some pride in being a Benefit Corporation.
We haven’t spoken about our B Corp obligations and privileges for some time. Basically, a Certified B Corporation (B Corp) is a for-profit company that meets high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. We do talk about AMS having integrity with regard to the environment, our communities, our Associates and our valued Clients and this integrity has always been our intention. Our decision to seek B Corp certification in 2017 was simply our way of “making it official”.
What B Corp Means
We went to Wikipedia for some description of what B Corp means:
“Purpose Beyond Profit: Companies balance profit-making with positive impacts on people and the planet. Strict Scoring: Companies must score a minimum of 80 on the B Impact Assessment and recertify every three years. Key Areas Assessed: Governance, workers, community, the environment, and customers. Benefit Corporation: A formal corporate legal status recognized by many U.S. states that requires businesses to consider society and the environment in decision-making.
“As of March 2025, there are 9,576 Certified B Corporations across 160 industries in 102 countries. B Lab certification is a third-party standard requiring companies to meet social sustainability and environmental performance standards, meet accountability standards, and be transparent to the public according to the score they receive on the assessment. B Lab certification applies to the whole company across all product lines and issue areas.”
Why? To Be a Benefit!
The ‘B’ in B Corporation stands for the word… Benefit. Of course, at AMS Fulfillment we aim to be a Benefit to our valued clients, not only handling their fulfillment needs, but doing so in a manner that truly benefits not only their business, but their lives. “Business for good” is more than a marketing strategy. We offer our clients a purpose-driven company as their fulfillment partner.
Environmentalism is important to us, and so is our attention to the well-being of our Associates. Safety is a focus at AMS. We also offer fair pay and excellent benefits. So, in essence we aim to be a Benefit to the lives of our Associates and their families. And since our Associates come from the communities in which we exist, we aim to be a true Benefit to our home communities.

In Conclusion!
Let’s conclude with some magnificent common sense – There are More Ways than One to experience Profit!! We profit immeasurably with a sustainable environment – in fact, it is a Must. And we profit greatly with an enthusiastic and cared for workforce – another Must. What about our clients… we want nothing more than to be a Benefit to our clients – a substantial benefit worthy of celebration! There we go – another Must.
What about ourselves? What benefits us? All of the above. “Business for Good” is the bottom line – the desire of every authentic human being. Let’s enjoy Climate Week and encourage the noble efforts to sustain our environment and respect our Mother Earth.
