B Corp Ceritification
In September of 2017, Kotn earned its B Corp Certification©, the gold standard guarantee for socially and environmentally conscious companies. In cooperation with the renowned BLab©, we completed rigorous assessments and interviews, and subjected our entire process - from start to finish, from cotton ball to clothing rack - to the utmost scrutiny.
About B Corps
Certified B Corporations are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. B Corps are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy.
The B Corp community works toward reduced inequality, lower levels of poverty, a healthier environment, stronger communities, and the creation of more high quality jobs with dignity and purpose. By harnessing the power of business, B Corps use profits and growth as a means to a greater end: positive impact for their employees, communities, and the environment.
B Corps form a community of leaders and drive a global movement of people using business as a force for good. The values and aspirations of the B Corp community are embedded in the B Corp Declaration of Interdependence.
Certifying as a B Corporation goes beyond product - or service-level certification. B Corp Certification is the only certification that measures a company’s entire social and environmental performance.
The B Impact Assessment evaluates how your company’s operations and business model impact your workers, community, environment, and customers. From your supply chain and input materials to your charitable giving and employee benefits. B Corp Certification proves your business is meeting the highest standards of verified performance.
As a B Corp “Best for the World” company, Kotn has scored in the top 10% of the globally certified B Cooperation community, based on our B Impact Assessment score.
