We are extremely proud to announce that Doing Goods is officially B Corp Certified!
As a B Corp, we’re part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact, legal accountability, and public transparency.
A heartwarming recognition for the genuine commitment to our community, our conscious business practices and our pledge to always do good.
Or the best we kunnen.
Sounds familiar but what exactly is it?
B Corps are companies reinventing business by pursuing a sustainable purpose, as well as profit. The certification process is rigorous, with companies required to reach a score of at least 80 (out of 200) points. To complete the certification, the company legally embedded their commitment to purpose beyond profit in their company articles.
We are big admirers of the B Corp movement. It’s one of the most recognisable and rigorous certifications to show a company’s commitment to benefit all people, communities, and the planet.
Since day one of Doing Goods, our mission is to spread happiness and cheer, near and far. Doing Good, it’s in our name, in our DNA. As we grow, this simple mission remains at the heart of all we do.
As part of the certification process, we’ve been audited by B Lab on five topics: governance, workers, community, environment, and customers.
The whole process took us more than a year, and we managed to get the whole business on board.
Jolieke Keynes, General Manager of Doing Goods:
“B Corp allowed us to organise our minds and set our future framework and commitment to using our business as a force for good”.
Being B Corp certified isn’t simply a check box for us. It’s by no means perfect or done.
The journey is measured every three years by B Lab and allows us to work towards our social and environmental goals while always staying committed to our own intentions:
More connection with ourselves. More attention for the beauty of ancient traditions and cultures. More work that actually positively impacts people’s lives. Creating products that last.
