B Corp Certification for Futures Supplies
Sustainable cleaning and washroom supplies specialist Futures Supplies, has announced its official certification as a B Corporation (B Corp), a recognition of the company's unwavering commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
Certified B Corps are companies verified by B Lab, a global nonprofit organisation that rigorously evaluates companies based on their overall positive impact on society, workers, communities and the environment. The certification process is a demanding one, requiring businesses to meet high standards of performance, accountability, and transparency.
"We are incredibly proud to have achieved B Corp certification," says Marc Kemp, the company's managing director. "This accomplishment is a reflection of our core values and ongoing mission to lead by example in our industry, demonstrating that business can be a force for good. It's not just about supplying products - it's about ensuring that every part of our business positively contributes to people and the planet."
For more than 29 years, Futures Supplies has been at the forefront of sustainable business practices, offering eco-friendly solutions to a wide range of customers. This certification underscores the company's holistic approach to sustainability, not only through the products it supplies but in every aspect of its operations.
As a certified B Corp, Futures Supplies joins an elite group of companies - over 6,000 globally - dedicated to using business as a force for good. The company is now part of a global movement to drive a shift towards more sustainable and ethical business practices across industries.
Futures Supplies' B Corp certification signifies that the company has met stringent standards in five key areas: governance, workers, community, environment and customers. The certification process evaluated how the company's operations and business model impact its workers, community, the environment, and customers.
"We believe that being a B Corp goes beyond a certification; it's a continual process of growth and improvement," adds Marc. "We are committed to pushing ourselves further, finding new ways to reduce our environmental footprint, and increasing our social impact."
With B Corp certification now in hand, Futures Supplies aims to build on this achievement by continuing to innovate in the sustainability sector and working closely with its partners, customers and stakeholders to create a lasting positive impact.
"We see this as a new chapter for Futures Supplies - one that aligns with our vision for the future of business and sustainability," says Marc. "This certification gives us a framework to grow responsibly while holding ourselves to the highest possible standards."
