Porcelain surface brand Florim has successfully renewed its B Corp certification, which CEO Beatrice Lucchese called “a reaffirmation of the way we have chosen to do business”.
B Corp certification recognises businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
Now featuring recently updated standards, the revised certification moves away from the previous overall scoring system, instead requiring businesses to demonstrate measurable results and continuous improvement across seven key impact areas: climate action; purpose and stakeholder governance; environmental stewardship and circularity; human rights; fair work; government affairs and collective action; and justice, equity, diversity and inclusion.
Florim says the recertification reflects its long-standing commitment to sustainability, which has been documented in its Sustainability Statement, published annually since 2008.
The company has continued to invest in energy efficiency and the modernisation of its manufacturing facilities, alongside initiatives focused on its workforce and local communities. It said these measures form part of a long-term approach to sustainability that runs alongside its wider industrial development.
Florim CEO Beatrice Lucchese said: “Renewing our B Corp certification is an important milestone for Florim and a reaffirmation of the way we have chosen to do business. The new standards introduce even more rigorous requirements, encouraging us to further strengthen our efforts. We recognise that sustainability demands ongoing attention, responsibility and the ability to evolve.
“This achievement is the result of the everyday dedication of everyone at Florim, and I would like to thank all our people for the commitment and professionalism they bring to turning our values into tangible actions.”
