What Is B Corp?
The B Corp certification addresses the entirety of a business’ operations and covers five key impact areas of Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers. The certification process is rigorous, with applicants required to provide evidence of socially and environmentally responsible practices relating to energy supplies, waste and water use, worker compensation, diversity and corporate transparency. To complete the certification, the company will legally embed their commitment to purpose beyond profit in their company articles.
Why it Matters to Us
The B Corp label certifies that a company meets the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability – concepts that inform all our decisions. Since our inception, we’ve been striving to preserve savoir-faire, honor unique expertise and empower all the fantastic artisans and designers who prove through their work that creative expression goes hand in hand with sustainable practices. By becoming B Corp certified, we reinforce our commitment: rather than being a final goal, this certification is a new, powerfully inspiring step.
