Medik8 Becomes BCorp Certified

Distributors of Medik8, SkinBrands have announced that the premium British skincare brand has become B Corp certified, making it 1 of only 66 beauty manufacturers in the 8000-strong B Corp community worldwide to be recognised as a certified B Corporation. 

B Corporations (B Corps) are companies that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. B Corps are also legally committed to bringing benefit, not just to shareholders, but to all business stakeholders - that means workers, customers, communities, and the environment.

The B Corp certification addresses the entirety of a business’s operations and covers five key impact areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers. The certification process is rigorous, with applicants required to reach a benchmark score of over 80 while providing evidence of socially and environmentally responsible practices relating to energy supplies, waste and water use, worker compensation, diversity and corporate transparency. Following an eight-month application process, Medik8 obtained certification with a score of 89.9 points.

Medik8’s vision is to continue to be part of a global movement for a more inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy, while constantly improving on its existing processes and practices to drive greater positive change - both today and tomorrow.

“B Corp certification does not mean that as a company we are perfect, nor that we have achieved our highest impact. We are on a journey and are excited to be joining a community of like-minded companies that believe businesses can be a force for good. Over the coming months and years, with B Corp as our guiding principle, we are committed to bringing greater positive impact to our communities and the planet.’’
