Becoming a B Corp
As a B Corp, we are joining a global network of over 4,000 certified companies across 77 countries, united by a shared vision of using business as a force for good.
|
For those who may be unfamiliar, B Corps are businesses that meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and legal accountability. It’s an honor to join the global community of like-minded companies that prioritize purpose and strive to make a positive impact on the world. Achieving B Corp certification is a testament to our unwavering commitment to ethical business practices, sustainability, and social responsibility. It reflects our belief that businesses have a vital role to play in solving some of the most pressing challenges we face as a society. |
|
Throughout our journey, we have made significant strides in various areas to meet the rigorous standards set by B Lab, the nonprofit organization behind the B Corp movement. We have implemented sustainable practices across our operations, focused on reducing our carbon footprint, and prioritized the well-being of our employees and the communities we serve. For us, this looks like unlimited paid time off for employees, paid volunteer hours, and a fully wind-powered office just to name a few. |
