We're B Corp Certified
We're proudly B Corp Certified
As a certified B Corp, we’re part of a global movement of pioneering companies who have committed to use business as a force for good.
Becoming a B Corp in 2022 was a big step forward for us. To be certified, every aspect of the business is analysed and verified to make sure that the business meets the highest standards of environmental and social performance.
As the first glass art supplier to become B Corp certified, we believe that together we can have a positive impact and make the world a more creative place.

What is a B Corp?
B Corp is a global certification that assesses a business based on their environmental and social performance.
We began the process as we wanted to make a commitment to balancing profit with people and the planet. As a company we already had a lot of great values but gaining our B Corp certification pushed us to reach the highest standards of environmental and social impact. Find out more on the B Corp website.
The journey to becoming a B Corp was the perfect opportunity to focus the whole company on how to use business as a force for good. Find out more in our annual Impact Report!
How did we score?
We were pleased to score an awesome 97.3, well above the requirements. The B Corp assessment covers five impact areas, here's how we scored in each one:
- Governance: 17.3
- Workers: 24.4
- Community: 17.7
- Environment: 20.5
- Customers: 17.3
We achieved this as part of Creative Revolution Group, which includes Glass School & Hot Clay.
We're not Stopping There...
Becoming a B Corp is not the destination, but it sets the standard for our future and the rest of the industry. B Corp businesses need to recertify with an improved score every three years, to ensure standards are met and progress is shown.
Our Impact Report will share our progress on social & environmental goals, including our path to Net Zero Carbon by 2025 - read more on our Sustainability page. We'll continue improving throughout our business and supply chains, whilst helping to make the world a more creative place.
