Premium British skincare brand, ELEMIS, is proud to announce its new status as a Certified B Corp after almost two years of implementing changes to processes, practices and launching new initiatives across the business.
Celebrating with an exceptional 93 points (significantly above the required score of 80, showing that large scale businesses can still show sustainable responsibility), ELEMIS joins the 1,000 plus British companies that take people, environment, and profit into consideration in equal measure when making business decisions. Sold in 103 countries, ELEMIS will use their global voice to elevate B Corp awareness around the world to build a better tomorrow.
To certify as a B Corp, performance is analysed across five key areas: governance, workers, community, environment, and customers. B Corp is the most comprehensive sustainability audit available, which doesn’t just evaluate products, but also rigorously assesses the whole business to meet high verified standards of social and environmentally responsible practices, transparency, and corporate accountability. The environment, biodiversity, human rights, climate protection, employees, and customers are all top priorities - B Lab says ‘business really can be a force for good and we must be the change we seek in the world’.
Chris Turner, Executive Director of B Lab UK commented: "We know that ELEMIS is going to be a fantastic addition to the B Corp community and will continue to drive the conversation forward. This is an exciting moment because they have an opportunity to lead the way within the beauty industry and help to spread the idea that we can redefine success in business to be as much about people and planet as it is about profit. The world needs more brands like ELEMIS who create real, long-term value for their customers, communities, workers, suppliers, and the environment, alongside their shareholders".
ELEMIS Co-Founders and teams are thrilled to have both their ethical and environmental efforts recognised, and certified, highlighting how this approach impacts all aspects of ELEMIS and the wider world.
Noella Gabriel, Co-Founder & Global President says: "We have always considered our impact on people and planet to be as important as our results-driven formulas and treatments for healthy skin and body. Being certified to the highest verified standards of transparency and accountability provides further assurances to our customers that we do what we say we do, and that we're committed to driving long-term positive changes as a responsible, ethical business while delivering exceptional skincare".
ELEMIS is proud to join hands with a fast-growing community of over 6,000 Certified B Corps in 87 countries and 159 industries worldwide, including The Body Shop, Aromatherapy Associates, Comfort Zone International, Aesop and Weleda, to use business as a force for good.
