What is a Certified B Corporation?
B Corps are for-profit businesses that have been certified by the non-profit B Lab to meet the highest levels of social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability.
To be certified as a B Corp every part of your business is assessed to make sure you’re meeting the highest levels of social and environmental performance. You’re assessed on over 200 questions across 5 different areas – Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers. The median score for ordinary businesses is 50.9 but you need 80 points to certify.
We were over the moon to certify on our first attempt with a score of 90.7!
In addition to the impact assessment, B Corps must also amend their governing documents to include consideration of all stakeholders, not just shareholders, in their decision-making. In 2022 we amended our Articles of Association meaning we are now legally required to consider the impact of our decisions on all stakeholders.
Our journey to becoming a B Corp
Our purpose at Reuseabox is to shape a better future for people and the planet.
Our goal is to encourage and inspire companies to reuse packaging and reduce their environmental impact, paving the way to a greener future.
At Reuseabox we’ve always tried to do
right by people and the planet.
Every day we work hard to keep cardboard boxes in use for longer, reducing the need for new boxes and helping to conserve our natural resources. Becoming B Corp Certified has taken us on a journey, enabling us to examine every area of our business and discover how we can do better, not just for ourselves, but for our workers, customers, communities and the environment.
The first step was completing the BIA. This seemed like a brilliant way to ask ourselves if we were doing everything we could as a business. It enabled us to examine our business under a microscope. We could see the parts we were doing well in as well as those areas we needed to work on.
We were incredibly proud to become B Corp Certified on our first attempt!
But for us, this is just the beginning of our journey. As a Certified B Corp, we’ll be reassessed every 3 years and we’re aiming to improve our score next time around.
For now, we’ll be using the BIA as a kind of ‘good business roadmap’, working on ways to make Reuseabox even better for people and planet.
