We’re thrilled to announce that Dr. Organic is now officially B Corp certified! Joining a global community of over 8,000 like-minded businesses, we are dedicated to using business as a force for good—prioritising people and the planet over profit. Sustainability has always been at the heart of everything we do, and becoming B Corp certified is an important milestone in our journey to build trust and champion values that truly matter.
What does being a B Corp mean?
B Corp certification goes beyond a label; it’s a commitment to meaningful action and transparency. What it means for us is:
Using business as a force for good: We’re part of a global network of businesses that meet rigorous standards of social and environmental impact. The certification process tests our accountability and transparency in areas like employee benefits, environmental practices, and community impact.
People and planet first: Every decision we make considers its impact on our customers, employees, communities, and the environment.
Benefit for all: The “B” in B Corp stands for ‘benefit for all’, reflecting our commitment to caring for people and planet.
This aligns with our mission to create accessible natural and organic beauty and wellness products that drive positive social and environmental impact.
How we earned our B Corp certification
Becoming a B Corp required us to evaluate and improve our practices across every level of the business. Here are just a few highlights of what we’ve achieved:
Carbon reduction: Solar panels at our headquarters generate enough energy to power 160 homes, offsetting 127 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
Plastic pollution prevention: By incorporating ocean-bound plastic into our shampoo, conditioner, and body wash packaging, we’ve prevented 41 tonnes of plastic from entering and polluting the oceans.
Tree planting initiatives: Through partnerships with Ecologi and Lignaverda, we’ve planted over 36,800 trees and supported global climate projects.
Community support: Over 21,000 products have been donated to local and national charities throughout 2024.
Bee conservation: On-site beehives at our Swansea headquarters contribute to supporting local bee populations.
Climate advocacy: Our CEO participated in the Cycling for the Climate challenge in Africa, demonstrating our hands-on commitment to environmental sustainability.
Volunteering for good: Our team came together this year to contribute 105 hours of volunteering, proudly supporting the incredible work of local charities.
Why B Corp certification matters
In a world where greenwashing is increasingly prevalent, our B Corp certification is your assurance that our values are authentic and backed by action. This milestone is our promise to continue striving for positive change, for our customers, our communities, and our planet.
The journey continues
Achieving B Corp certification is just the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Dr. Organic. We are committed to building on this momentum, driving innovation, and creating even greater positive impacts in the years to come. We’re excited to share this journey with you as we work towards a brighter, greener, and more sustainable future.
