In recognition of British eyewear designer Eyespace’s commitment to social and environmental responsibility, the company has become a certified B Corporation.
One of the world’s most reputable and widely recognised designations, B Corporation certification is accredited by B-Lab, a non-profit organisation driving change to transform the global economy into a more inclusive, equitable and regenerative system.
Eyespace is one of the first major optical suppliers in the UK, and one of only 7,351 businesses across 92 countries, to have achieved this validation. “This certification serves as testament to our unwavering commitment to sustainability and strengthening the Eyespace culture and community as we work together to use business as a resoundingly strong force for good,” said CEO and co-founder Jayne Abel. “Positive social and environmental impact is something that a growing number of customers are looking for in their products and we hope this status will resonate among our customer base, both in the UK and internationally.”
The awarding of B Corporation status followed an 18-month assessment period during which Eyespace had to provide corroborated answers to more than 200 questions on sustainability, governance, employees, community and environmental impact.
Eyespace’s portfolio of brands include Aspinal of London, Cocoa Mint, Jensen, Land Rover and Range Rover.
