Last year, Natural Pod became North America’s first commercial furniture company focused on the education industry to receive B Corporation Certification. Business as a force for good.
We believe that sustainability is a complex and wide-reaching term. “Being sustainable” is more than stamping certifications on product labels and marketing materials. To us, it’s about evaluating each thing we do and asking ourselves, “Is this the best thing for the people and the planet? How could we do better?” It is uncompromising.
What does this certification mean for you? When partnering with Natural Pod to transform your learning space, you’re supporting businesses and people with shared values. You’re part of the change we hope to create by setting an example of how good business, meaningful relationships, and impactful learning spaces can exist in harmony.
“Certified B Corporations are leaders in the global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. Unlike other certifications for businesses, B Lab is unique in our ability to measure a company’s entire social and environmental impact.” – B Lab
This mentality was our reason for seeking B Corporation Certification. Not for the logo usage rights, but for the high standards of performance, accountability, and transparency they incorporate into their certification process to measure social and environmental impact. This certification has challenged us to understand where we are, define where we want to go, and to build a roadmap for how we can get there.
“Receiving the B Corp Certification is an accomplishment our team is proud to share with you; our community. Thank you for being part of this journey, by sharing the values of supporting children and educators, and doing this great work of creating learning spaces that matter.”– Bridgitte Alomes, CEO + Founder of Natural Pod
Moving forward, this certification will be a reminder that we care all the way through the organization. That we’re here to make a difference. And to join with others who believe it is possible to create a movement.
B Corp Month is an annual, global campaign. Every year during March, B Lab and the global B Corp community join together to celebrate everything it means to be a B Corp. This B Corp month, let’s show the world how we move forward, together.
Because B Corp certification isn’t a destination, it’s an invitation to join the journey to better business. And in our case, better learning outcomes for students and better learning spaces for educators!
