What is B Corp Certification?
B Corp certification is a globally recognised standard for companies that use business as a force for good. Certified B Corporations are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on all stakeholders, including workers, customers, suppliers, the community, and the environment. This certification is awarded by B Lab, a non-profit organisation that rigorously assesses companies based on their social and environmental performance.
Achieving B Corp status means that a company has met the highest standards of verified performance. It demonstrates a company's commitment to creating a positive impact and building a more inclusive and sustainable economy. For Kind Bag, this certification validates our goal to reduce plastic waste and promote resource conservation whilst adding colour to everyday life.
Why is This Achievement Important?
- Commitment to Sustainability: Kind Bag has always had the goal to reduce plastic waste. Since our inception, we have repurposed over 6 million plastic bottles into our products. This accomplishment reflects our dedication to sustainability and our innovative approach to resource conservation. Our high score in the Resource Conservation category highlights our efforts to repurpose waste materials and minimise our environmental footprint.
- Transparency and Accountability: The B Corp certification process is comprehensive and transparent. It holds companies accountable for their social and environmental impact, ensuring they operate with integrity. By achieving this certification, Kind Bag demonstrates our commitment to transparency and ethical business practices. We believe in being accountable to our customers, employees, and the wider community.
- Social and Environmental Performance: The rigorous B Impact Assessment evaluates companies across various areas, including governance, workers, community, and the environment. Kind Bag's high score indicates our excellence in these areas, particularly in how we manage our resources and support our community. Our products are not just functional and stylish but also contribute to a healthier planet.

We are committed to continuously improving our practices, exploring new ways to reduce our environmental impact, and enhancing our social initiatives. We aim to inspire others in the industry to follow suit and prioritise the planet and people alongside profit.
