Hatmill becomes a Certified B Corporation
We are delighted to announce we’ve secured B corp certification joining the growing movement of companies using business as a force for good.
Verified by B Lab, the not-for-profit behind the B Corp movement, this achievement demonstrates that Hatmill meets high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability alongside a commitment to goals beyond shareholder value.
The process of becoming B Corp assesses business performance based on five criteria – governance, workers, community, environment, and customers. Hatmill was awarded the accolade after scoring 117 points in the rigorous accreditation process, well exceeding the score needed to achieve the certification, which stands at 80.
Joining a Growing Community
Hatmill is now part of a growing community of over 8,000 businesses globally that have certified as B Corps. Names include The Guardian, Innocent Drinks, Patagonia, Tony’s Chocolonely, The Big Issue, Finisterre, Elemis, COOK, and Sipsmith Gin. The B Corp community in the UK is one of the largest and fastest-growing in the world, with over 1,700 companies spanning a range of different industries and sizes.
Chris Turner, executive director of B Lab UK, says:
“We are delighted to welcome Hatmill to the B Corp community. This is a movement of companies that are committed to changing how business operates and believe business really can be a force for good. We know that Hatmill is going to be a fantastic addition to the community and will continue driving the conversation forward.”
Simon Dixon, Founder and CEO of Hatmill, said:
“Hatmill is on a journey to become the best business it can be, not just in terms of the services we provide but in how we deliver those while doing the most amount of good we can.
“When we became an EOT in 2021, it became clear social responsibility, inclusion and the environment were key issues for many of us in the business. Becoming B Corp certified is the next step on our journey and we feel achieving it demonstrates our commitment to the issues our people, as well as our clients, feel most strongly about.”
