At Bio-D, we’re proud to celebrate our 3rd anniversary as a Certified B Corporation—a milestone that reflects our ongoing commitment to using business as a force for good. Becoming a B Corp was more than a badge of honour; it was a pledge to hold ourselves accountable for our impact on the planet, people, and communities we serve.
In this blog post, we’ll explore what being a B Corp means, how it shapes our values, and the exciting plans we have for the future as we continue working with other amazing B Corps to support our mission for a cleaner, greener world.
What Is a B Corp?
Certified B Corporations (B Corps) are businesses that meet high standards of verified social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. The certification is granted by B Lab, a non-profit organisation that assesses companies based on their impact on employees, communities, customers, and the environment.
As a B Corp, Bio-D is part of a global movement of companies that believe in balancing purpose and profit. We are legally required to consider the impact of our decisions on all stakeholders, not just shareholders, which means our mission goes beyond financial success—it’s about creating a positive impact.
What Does Being a B Corp Mean to Bio-D?
For Bio-D, being a B Corp is a reflection of who we are and what we stand for. From the ingredients we use in our products to the partnerships we form, every decision aligns with our mission to create effective, environmentally responsible cleaning products.
“We’re incredibly proud to be celebrating 3 years as a B Corp,” says Managing Director Lloyd Atkin. “It’s a testament to our team’s hard work and dedication to doing business in a way that prioritises sustainability and ethical practices. Being a B Corp isn’t just about meeting standards—it’s about constantly striving to exceed them.”
Our Sustainability Manager, Heather Nixon, echoes this sentiment: “Becoming a B Corp was the start of a journey, not the end. Each year, we reassess and improve our practices to ensure we’re doing everything we can to make a positive impact.”
