Full Circle joins the B Corp community

Full Circle Home, a Manhattan based brand of sustainable kitchen and cleaning tools for the home, has been awarded the B Corp certification after undergoing a comprehensive examination of its business practices, by the nonprofit B Lab.

As written on the B Lab website: “B Corp certification is to sustainable business what LEED certification is to green building or Fair Trade certification is to coffee.” As a B Corp, Full Circle Home joins well-known brands such as Ben and Jerry’s, Patagonia, and Warby Parker, as well as many other notable, smaller firms. There are 830 B Corporations in 27 countries in 60 industries.

The performance standards to become a Certified B Corporation are comprehensive and transparent. They measure a company's impact on all of its stakeholders (e.g., workers, suppliers, community and the environment). Unlike traditional corporations, Certified B Corporations are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions not only on their shareholders, but also on their stakeholders (e.g., workers, suppliers, community, consumers and the environment).

“We are thrilled to join the BCorp community and to continue expanding our positive impact in the consumer goods industry. While this certification is an honor, it is just the beginning of a long-term commitment our brand has made to lowering consumers’ impact on the environment” says Tal Chitayat, Co-founder and Sales Director at Full Circle. As a BCorp member, Full Circle has committed to upholding a wide variety of sustainable practices, including:

• Sourcing raw materials close to where all of the processes and packaging is done to minimize transportation.
• Ensuring scraps and waste materials are recycled.
• Using recycled and FSC certified paper for marketing materials and packaging
  • Auditing factories according to the following: fair labor practices, health & safety, compensation & work hours, environmental conditions including air and water, as well as waste disposal.
