B CORP SERVICES

“Our decision to certify as a B Corp specifically, in a sea of sustainability certifications, has not always been straightforward. When I first did the B Impact Assessment in early 2021, the team only consisted of two full-time staff members, with a further two part-timers. It was a useful tool to benchmark our performance (61 points), however, we did not have the resources at the time to pursue the certification stage. This changed after completing the Positive Luxury Accelerator Programme, as it helped build on our existing sustainability strategy with more robust policies, sourcing criteria and data collection, that ultimately helped us with our B Corp submission in 2024.” – Marieke Hammes, Head of Operation & Sustainability, Canned Wine Co.

OUR EXPERT GUIDANCE & SUPPORT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Our team of sustainability experts understand the requirements and expectations of the B Corp assessment process. We can guide you through the B Impact Assessment (BIA), optimising your time and budget, fast-tracking progress toward certification.

B Corp certification ensures that a business is meeting certain verified standards of performance, accountability and transparency across environmental and social requirements. The B Corp assessment was developed according to standards and best practices of their Standards Advisory Council and informed by stakeholder input and research. Much like the 200 businesses that Positive Luxury works with, B Corp’s community is comprised of businesses committed to leading an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy, measuring their social and environmental impacts. B Corp also requires that businesses make a legal commitment by changing their corporate governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders, not just shareholders.
