B Corp, certified sustainability
We vied with high social and environmental performance standards, and after a long and scrupulous verification process, we became B Corp.
We conceive business as a positive force that not only generates profit but also creates a beneficial impact on people and the environment.
What does it mean to be a B Corp?
B Corps are part of a global movement of ‘Purpose Driven Businesses’ that aims to spread a new economic paradigm, where businesses play a leading role in promoting business models for a fairer and more inclusive economy.
We are proud to be part of an epochal cultural shift. One of the fundamental principles of all B Corps is to move towards a regenerative paradigm, as opposed to an extractive one.
Regeneration means creating value at economic, social, and environmental levels, thus producing positive effects for society and the planet.
Only those companies that measure their overall impact through the Benefit Impact Assessment (BIA) and achieve a score above 80 (on a scale from 0 to 200) become B Corps, joining an elite group of businesses that operate for environmental, economic, and social sustainability.
Each B Corp receives a score across the five impact areas of the B Impact Assessment (workers, environment, governance, community, and customers) and must meet specific “Legal Requirements” and transparency principles.
The number of companies committed to becoming B Corps is very high and constantly growing, but only a small percentage manage to become certified by B Lab, a US-based organization that operates globally according to strict standards of transparency and sustainability.
Florim's Score
After obtaining this prestigious recognition in 2020, we reached 105.6 points in 2025, a significant increase compared to 90.9 in 2020.
The overall result reflects the performance of Florim SpA SB, which went from 98.1 to 108 points, and the American subsidiary, which for the first time completed the certification process with 95.8 points (compared to 64.8 in 2020).
Constant commitment
The improvement in our score confirms that the initiatives we have launched are making a difference. In recent years, we have worked on several fronts: from ongoing dialogue with our stakeholders to training and welfare for our people, and concrete actions in support of the community.
We have also enhanced our Health and Training Center, a space dedicated to advanced medical simulation, research and prevention, which in 11 years has trained over 6,300 people.
In terms of sustainability, we have evaluated the performance of our suppliers and introduced a shared Code of Conduct across the entire supply chain. We have launched a plan to measure and reduce emissions, accompanied by numerous initiatives to optimize resource use: new tanks for rainwater recovery, thinner products, increased renewable energy, electric trucks for logistics and 100% plastic-free sample packaging.
Since 2011, we have invested over 77 million euros to reduce our environmental impact. Today, we recover 100% of production waste, reuse all wastewater, and self-produce up to 100% of the electricity needed by our plants.
We are also ISO 9001 certified for quality, ISO 14001 for environment, ISO 50001 for energy, and ISO 45001 for health and safety, and we have over 20 international product certifications that attest to our ongoing commitment to maintaining high standards in all areas.
This journey doesn’t end here: because for us, sustainability is a daily, shared, and constantly evolving commitment.
Every achievement is the result of collective work, bold choices, and a clear vision: to keep improving, step by step, with responsibility and passion for what we do.
Benefit Corporation and B Corp
B Corps are companies that obtain a certification issued by an independent organization, B Lab, following a rigorous analysis and verification process based on high social and environmental performance standards.
Benefit Corporations are companies that have chosen to independently amend their statutes to formalize their commitment to working for the common good. This is a self-assumption of responsibility regulated by law.

Certification Note
The “B Corporation Certification” is a trademark licensed by B Lab, a private non-profit organization, to companies like ours that have successfully passed the B Impact Assessment (“BIA”) and therefore meet the requirements set by B Lab in terms of social and environmental performance, responsibility, and transparency.
It is specified that B Lab is not a conformity assessment body under Regulation (EU) No. 765/2008 or a national, European, or international standards organization under Regulation (EU) No. 1025/2012. The BIA criteria are distinct and independent from the harmonized standards resulting from ISO norms or other standards organizations and are not ratified by national or European public institutions.
