Why certify as a B Corp?
Businesses become B Corps for a variety of reasons: to align their values with their mission, join a community of changemakers, and enhance employee engagement, customer loyalty, and innovation.

Zentek
“We could list many large and small successes—from numerous energy-saving measures and more sustainable procurement criteria to the establishment of a diversity team and a series of new initiatives in workplace health management. In many areas of the company, essential foundations have been laid, and new structures have been created. It is now our task to fully realize their potential.”

“Since our first B Corp certification in 2015, we have not only continuously improved but also made many things measurable, such as demonstrating the impact of the soulbottle with our impact survey. With our latest recertification, we can show how much we have improved, making us one of the B Corps with the highest scores in the BIA. This naturally puts us in a position to serve as a role model, which makes us very proud.”
