CHOOSE THE BUTTERFLY
We created the Butterfly Mark as the mark of real change, for a world that desperately needs it. We award it only to brands meeting higher and higher standards for people and nature. Each one has to undergo a comprehensive assessment built on the foundation of international agreements, global frameworks and standards, and even potential upcoming legislation. And every two years, they have to do it all over again. The bar is forever rising, but our brands keep rising to meet it. Progress over perfection, difficult work over easy wins, and transformation you can trust. That’s what our mark symbolises.
REAL CHANGE YOU CAN TRUST
We believe luxury should lead and have the highest standards for sustainability. If you see a brand bearing the Butterfly Mark, you know that they're delivering real change to positively impact people and nature.
- We’re science-based and expert-led. All of the questions in our assessment are built on the foundation of international regulations, future potential legislation, global frameworks and standards including the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and the UN Global compact. It also takes into account leading independent certifications.
- We believe in the power of honesty and transparency. When companies are open about their sustainability journey, it allows people to make informed decisions about what you buy and lives up to your values. That’s why we empower our brands to be transparent about where they are today and where they aim to be tomorrow.
- The Butterfly Mark is a catalyst, not a capstone. The act of taking our assessment drives changes within organisations – and passing it can unleash a ripple effect that reaches far out into society. And it’s a living label, not an endpoint. Every two years, companies have to do it all again – we never just certify brands and move on.
- We create Real Changemakers: businesses that have proven to meet higher and higher sustainability standards. We have supported and guided almost 200 luxury brands to embed measurable sustainability practices across their business and inspire others.
