Break out the cake and streamers because Hop Studios is celebrating two years as a certified B Corp Business!
Hop has always been a business that strives to contribute positively to society and the environment. Becoming certified through B Corp aligned with our mission and values, and symbolizes both what we’ve achieved and our commitment to continue striving to create positive impact.
So, what exactly is B Corp? It’s an independent certification that covers a wide range of practices and standards required of a socially conscious business. To become certified, Hop Studios underwent an extremely detailed evaluation—the independent organization B Lab reviewed every part of our operations.
B Corp is the sole certification that focuses on an organization’s environmental and social performance through the B Impact Assessment. This rigorous assessment sets apart companies that truly place emphasis on bettering the world around them and helps those businesses commit to long-term, sustainable practices.
Being a B Corp is a badge of honour to us, as it makes visible our values and our mission to create positive change through Helping Other People. It shows that our employees, shareholders and many of our suppliers also share that mission and actively contribute to making those productive impacts.
Hop is extremely proud of being part of a movement and global community of like-minded organizations that focus on creating positive changes for good and strive to meet the highest standards of social and environmental impact. We’ve been grateful to learn new ways that we can continue to help other people and help our planet from fellow B Corp companies.
In the past two years, Hop has become even more aware of our social and environmental practices and has implemented procedures within our organization to improve our impact. We are always striving to continue to do good within our communities and our business.
What’s next for Hop Studios as a certified B Corp business? We’re currently in the process of recertifying so we can continue to amplify the positive changes that the B Corp movement stands for. We’re also continuing to work with other BCorp organizations and businesses that are also making lasting improvements to our world. Finally, we are looking for more ways to give back to the community and the planet – such as donating a portion of our profits.
Although our values to do good go back to our origin, today is truly a celebratory moment. We encourage every individual and business to reflect on ways they can make a difference in the world. Even the smallest impact can create a meaningful ripple effect!
