Cleaning product company obtains B Corp status to further sustainability
Cleaning product company obtains B Corp status to further sustainability
2025-02-13
Companies worldwide are all looking for ways to be more sustainable and reduce their carbon footprint. Now there’s a company that not only offers green cleaning products, but has also applied for B Corp certification. Employees even apply their mission in the office by carefully monitoring their waste production along with electricity and water use, aiming to be more environmentally friendly.
These recycled plastics have been broken up into white chips to be processed into these plastic pellets. They’re then reformed into containers, greatly reducing the amount of waste generated.
This light amber liquid is an environmentally friendly cleaning solution. Over 90% is made from coconuts, beets, lemon, and other plant extracts. The company that makes these household cleaning products not only puts sustainability into practice themselves, but also hopes to influence their consumers.
Chloe
Company founder
To customers, sustainability is a distant fantasy. We must keep giving them another option. An option that they identify with and are willing to change to.
Back when there were major concerns about food safety in 2015, the company’s founder, Chloe, decided to develop a safe cleaning product. She strove to make her products environmentally friendly and raise standards, earning the company B Corp certification.
Chloe
Company founder
By getting B Corp certification, we hope to influence others. Not only our consumers, but also our employees and suppliers. This is certainly not something that only our brand or one company can do. With support from our customers, we can influence the entire industry.
B Corp certification covers more than corporate governance. It also involves customized scoring on how a company cares for its employees and the environment. Even after passing, they have to continue meeting requirements, keeping track of how much waste their office produces daily, as well as quarterly electricity and water usage.
Kevin
Company employee
We approach things like a team. It’s more cohesive. Other B Corps or sustainable brands will approach us to do co-branding or join a market together, these kinds of marketing activities.
Kimi
Company employee
Before I came here, I was already really interested in the B Corp movement. Since it’s a kind of certification, it’s more of a global movement. As it focuses on so many areas, like employees or the direction of the company and the environment, I believe that the B Corp movement has a very promising future.
To do their part for the environment, companies with B Corp certification are putting sustainability concepts into practice through everyday action.

全球永續目標"B型企業" 推廣環保.行動落實辦公環境
2025-02-13
全球企業都在做永續，為環保減碳做努力，現在有清潔用品公司，不只用自家產品推廣環保，更申請B型企業認證，甚至將行動落實在辦公室，員工每天對於垃圾減量、水電用量細細檢視，就希望對環境更友善。
回收來的塑膠製品，打碎成白色片狀，再經過加工處理，成為塑膠顆粒，經過重新製作成容器，大大減少垃圾的產生。
透著淡淡琥珀色光澤的液體，是環境友善的清潔劑，有百分之90甚至以上，是從椰子、甜菜、檸檬等植物中萃取，居家清潔用品公司不只自己做永續，更希望用自身力量影響消費者。

“那永續這件事情，其實對於消費者來講，是一個很遙遠的想像，我們必須要一直提供給他們一個選擇，然後這個選擇是他們也認同，且願意想要改變的方式”
2015年各地爆發食安問題，讓公司創辦人Chloe決定研發安全的清潔用品，致力環保永續，甚至提高標準，讓公司榮獲"B型企業"的認證。

“B型企業應該說我們想要影響其他人，那影響其他人不只是消費者，還有我們的員工，還有我們的供應商，那這件事情一定不是只有我一個品牌，一間企業可以做到，讓消費者支持，那它就可以對整個市場造成影響力”
"B型企業"不只公司治理，還有員工照顧、環境友善等方面，進行客製化評分，通過之後也要持續把關，記錄每天辦公室的垃圾量，以及每一期水電的用量。

“就是一起共同的向心力這些，我覺得比較容易凝聚，就是其他的B型企業呢，或者是說一些做環保永續的那些品牌，它都會主動來邀請我們來做一些，像是品牌聯名，或者是一些市集的那種推廣活動”
[[居家清潔用品品牌員工 Kimi]]
“我其實在加入這邊之前，就已經非常關注就是B型企業這個運動，因為與其說它是一個認證，它比較像是一個全球性的運動，因為它關注的面向有很多，比如說員工，或者是公司的方向，或是環境的方向，所以我是相信B型企業的運動，是在未來是很有前景的”
為永續盡一份心力，申請到B型企業的公司，在生活當中，每天都在實踐環保、愛地球。
