But, that doesn&#8217;t mean that behind the scenes drugstore staples aren&#8217;t making a difference, too. If you prefer purchasing from brands that do good no matter what aisle you&#8217;re in, all you have to do is look for the B Corp certified logo.<\/p>\n<p>Take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sanofi.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.sanofi.com\/en\">Sanofi Consumer Healthcare North America<\/a> (Sanofi CHC), for example, makers of brands you see at every drugstore in the country\u2014such as Allegra<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, Xyzal<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, Dulcolax<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, Cortizone-10<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, IcyHot<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, and Aspercreme<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. But the story behind those familiar labels is a community and company ethos that\u2019s transforming business into a force for good.<\/p>\n<p>To prove it, this year Sanofi CHC obtained a B Corp certification\u2014one of most rigorous, trusted certifications a business can receive\u2014and in doing so became the first, large consumer health-care company to meet such high standards of social and environmental impact.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;B Corporations, or B Corps, are leaders in the global movement for an equitable, sustainable future,&#8221; Andrew Loucks, the h<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ead o<\/span>f Sanofi North America Consumer Healthcare. &#8220;The rigorous certification process requires an assessment by B Lab, a nonprofit organization that evaluates companies to help ensure they meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As part of its continued commitment to sustainability, Sanofi CHC is eliminating 35 tons of plastic packaging per year, reducing operational greenhouse gases on the road to being carbon neutral by 2030, and having net-zero emissions by 2045, and powering all North American distribution and manufacturing sites with 100 percent renewable energy, Loucks said.<\/p>\n<p>On the social impact side, Sanofi CHC is involved in Comebaq Courts, an Icy Hot initiative that renovates basketball courts in under-resourced communities, and KidSports Canada, which provides access to organized sports opportunities for Canadian youth facing socio-economic barriers, Loucks adds.<\/p>\n<p>B Corp certifications aren&#8217;t a one-and-done certification either. Every three years, Sanofi CHC must update its B Impact Assessment (BIA) and verify its updated B Impact score to prove that the company is still engaging in all of its good work.<\/p>\n<p>So, what does that mean for your drugstore run? It&#8217;s simple for you to support Sanofi CHC in building a healthier future by purchasing these six products (instead of reaching for the generic versions) during your next stock-up.<\/p>\n<div class=\"theme-main-2020\">\n<div class=\"wg-inline-shopable\">\n<h2 class=\"text-h2 wg-inline-shopable__title mb-[20px]\">Shop Products for Social Impact<\/h2>\n<div class=\"pb-[20px] sm:pb-[35px] sm:flex justify-between\">\n<div class=\"w-full\">\n<figure class=\"block w-full wg-inline-shopable__figure p-0 m-0 mb-[25px]\"> <a data-vars-event=\"product image\" data-vars-info=\"Allegra%C2%AE+Allergy+12+Hour+Tablets\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3sJlzwo\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3sJlzwo\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1244760_Sanofi_CCA_Allegra_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\" class=\"block w-full no-pin\" alt=\"\"\/> <\/a><figcaption class=\"text-center text-caption--article text-gray-light block mt-[10px]\"\/> <\/figure>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3sJlzwo\" class=\"wg-inline-shopable__subtitle-link\" data-vars-event=\"product name\" data-vars-info=\"Allegra%C2%AE+Allergy+12+Hour+Tablets\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3sJlzwo\"> <\/p>\n<p>Allegra\u00ae Allergy 12 Hour Tablets<\/p>\n<p> <\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"text-big mb-[5px] wg-inline-shopable__content mt-[10px]\">\n<p>Grab these beloved, non-drowsy allergy relief pills next time you start to feel the sniffles come on, and feel even better than just 12-hour allergy relief: Sanofi CHC removed the plastic window on Allegra\u00ae packaging as part of their overall efforts to reduce plastic.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"pb-[20px] sm:pb-[35px] sm:flex justify-between\">\n<div class=\"w-full\">\n<figure class=\"block w-full wg-inline-shopable__figure p-0 m-0 mb-[25px]\"> <a data-vars-event=\"product image\" data-vars-info=\"Xyzal%C2%AE+Allergy+24HR\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/47TtwxL\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/47TtwxL\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1244760_Sanofi_CCA_Xyzal_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\" class=\"block w-full no-pin\" alt=\"\"\/> <\/a><figcaption class=\"text-center text-caption--article text-gray-light block mt-[10px]\"\/> <\/figure>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/47TtwxL\" class=\"wg-inline-shopable__subtitle-link\" data-vars-event=\"product name\" data-vars-info=\"Xyzal%C2%AE+Allergy+24HR\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/47TtwxL\"> <\/p>\n<p>Xyzal\u00ae Allergy 24HR<\/p>\n<p> <\/a> <\/p>\n<div class=\"text-big mb-[5px] wg-inline-shopable__content mt-[10px]\">\n<p>Xyzal\u00ae is another allergy relief product that Sanofi CHC eliminated plastic packaging from, ensuring that its packaging is now plastic-free and fully recyclable.
