B Corp™ Movement

The B Corp movement is a global movement of People Using Business as a Force for Good®. Together, we are shifting our economic system from profiting only a few to benefitting all, from concentrating wealth and power to ensuring equity, from extraction to regeneration, and from prioritising individualism to embracing interdependence.

Assessment

Accreditation Process

In order to reach B Corp certification, b&m underwent a rigorous accreditation process, where our performance was assessed using a point system and measured again 5 key categories: Governance, workers, customers, community and environment.

Striving for good

The extensive assessment process highlights b&m’s weakness regardless of our strengths. This determines a clear roadmap of improvements considering positive sustainable practices that should be carried out in the future in order for b&m to continue to strive for good.

Ethical Excellence

Maintaining ethical excellence is closely monitored by B Lab. As a B Corp certified company we must regularly submit impact reports and commit to retaking a certification every three years. The aim is to ensure progress within ethical boundaries.
