Brabantia x Sustainability
Sustainability is not something that we do; it is what we are. It's in our nature. Caring for people, for the planet is something that we do every day, since the very beginning of our company. And every day we want to do better, for ourselves, for others and therefore for future generations. The B Corp status is the perfect way for us to express how important we consider our sustainable mission.
What is a B Corp?
A certified B Corp meets high standards for social and environmental performance. A B Corp is committed to making the world a better place and having an impact on social and sustainable issues through its products. Worldwide, there are more than 7,000 certified B corporations in more than 90 countries and across 160 industries. Thanks to the international B Corp network, B Corp organisations can inspire and help one another with their mission. So that together we can make an even bigger impact.
