Futures Supplies achieves B Corp Certification

Futures Supplies, a leading provider of sustainable cleaning and washroom supplies, has announced its certification as a B Corporation (B Corp), a recognition of the company’s commitment to social and environmental responsibility.

Certified B Corps are companies verified by B Lab, a global nonprofit organization that rigorously evaluates companies based on their overall positive impact on society, workers, communities, and the environment. The certification process is a demanding one, requiring businesses to meet high standards of performance, accountability, and transparency.

“We are incredibly proud to have achieved B Corp certification,” said Marc Kemp, Managing Director of Futures Supplies. “This accomplishment is a reflection of our core values and ongoing mission to lead by example in our industry, demonstrating that business can be a force for good. It’s not just about supplying products - it’s about ensuring that every part of our business positively contributes to people and the planet.”

Leading the way in sustainable business

For over 29 years, Futures Supplies has been at the forefront of sustainable business practices, offering eco-friendly solutions to a wide range of customers. This certification underscores the company’s holistic approach to sustainability, not only through the products it supplies but in every aspect of its operations.

As a certified B Corp, Futures Supplies joins an elite group of companies - over 6000 globally - dedicated to using business as a force for good. The company is now part of a global movement to drive a shift towards more sustainable and ethical business practices across industries.

What B Corp Certification means for Futures Supplies

Futures Supplies’ B Corp certification signifies that the company has met stringent standards in five key areas: governance, workers, community, environment, and customers. The certification process evaluated how the company’s operations and business model impact its workers, community, the environment, and customers.

“We believe that being a B Corp goes beyond a certification; it’s a continual process of growth and improvement,” added Marc Kemp. “We are committed to pushing ourselves further, finding new ways to reduce our environmental footprint, and increasing our social impact.”

Looking to the Future

With B Corp certification now in hand, Futures Supplies aims to build on this achievement by continuing to innovate in the sustainability sector and working closely with its partners, customers, and stakeholders to create a lasting positive impact.

Marc Kemp concluded: “We see this as a new chapter for Futures Supplies - one that aligns with our vision for the future of business and sustainability. This certification gives us a framework to grow responsibly while holding ourselves to the highest possible standards.”
