B Corp

In 2019, we were over the moon when Kathmandu officially became part of the global B Corp movement. This was a big thing for us because becoming a certified B Corp meant we met high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.

Fast-forward to 2023, and we are proud to have been re-certified! In addition to this achievement, we have been commended by B Lab for the significant improvements we’ve made to our impact.

As a certified B Corp, we’re counted among businesses that are leading a global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy.

WHAT’S A B CORP?

Certified B Corporations, or B Corps, are companies verified by B Lab – a third party, non-profit organisation – to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.

What is the certification process?

Certified B Corps are required to:

  • Consider the impact of their decisions on all stakeholders.
  • Agree to be transparent on five impact areas: governance, workers, customers, communities, and the environment.
  • Achieve a minimum verified score on the B Impact Assessment.
  • Recertify every three years. This requires them to satisfy the ever-changing standards and expectations of the certification each time.
  • Complete a comprehensive questionnaire, including substantiating evidence, followed up with an interview and reviews by B Corp, each with stringent guidelines.

Why does this matter to you?

B Corps are way for customers to instantly recognise that the organisations they buy from are working according to an entirely new way of doing business. B Corp Certification helps businesses act as a force for good and helps investors select organisations that align with their values. For those who live to get #OutThere, this certification means they can trust that Kathmandu meets high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.

We’re proud to have been a B Corp since 2019 and to have recertified in 2023. More information on the B Corp movement can be found here.
