Why we’re not B Corp certified

What is B Corp?

B Corp is a certification that requires companies to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. To qualify, companies must have been in operation for at least 12 months, comply with all applicable laws, and incorporate stakeholder governance into their legal structure. They must complete the B Impact Assessment, meet its specific criteria, undergo third-party verification, and now must measure and report their carbon footprint.

  • B Corp is a certification for companies that meet high standards of social, environmental, and ethical business practices. It shows a company aims for a positive impact, not just profit.

  • Kuyichi shares B Corp values but is not currently certified. We have other certifications, including Fair Wear membership, GOTS and GRS. B Corp is mostly focused internally, and we prioritise the certifications for our production process.

  • B Corp is a certification for all industries, with a more internal focus and limited supply chain requirements. Fair Wear is a membership instead of a certification, specifically focused on the fashion industry and labour conditions in the supply chain.
