B Corp
We have been a certified B Corp since 2020. This commitment drives us to measure our impact and continuously improve our social, environmental, and governance practices.
We envision a global economy in which businesses are a force for good. This economy is made up of a new kind of company: the B Corp.
What does it mean to be a B Corp?
Being a B Corp means meeting verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
B Lab Standards
With the new standards, the assessment model has changed significantly. A single overall score is no longer used: companies must meet specific requirements and take meaningful action across seven impact areas covering social, environmental, and governance issues, demonstrating continuous improvement over time.
Ongoing commitment
For us, sustainability is not a short-term choice, but an ongoing journey. Since 2008, we have publicly and transparently shared our goals, actions, and results through our Sustainability Statement and since 2020, this commitment has been B Corp certified.
For us, certification is not a destination, but an incentive to continue taking concrete action. Behind every achievement are processes, decisions, and investments, but above all, the daily work of our people.
Improvement means continuing to challenge ourselves, measure our impacts, and look ahead with ambition and responsibility.
Our journey
2020
Florim achieves B Corp certification for the first time, with a consolidated score of 90.9 points: 98.1 for Florim S.p.A. SB and 64.8 for Florim USA. The assessment is based on the five impact areas defined by the B Impact Assessment.
Benefit Corporation and B Corp
B Corps are companies that obtain certification issued by an independent organization following a rigorous assessment and third-party verification process based on social, environmental, and governance performance standards.
Benefit Companies or Benefit Corporations, on the other hand, are companies that have voluntarily amended their articles of association to formalize their commitment to operating for the common good. This is a voluntary assumption of responsibility governed by law.

Note on Certification
“B Corporation Certification” is a trademark licensed by B Lab, a private nonprofit organization, to companies that, like ours, have successfully completed the B Impact Assessment (“BIA”) and therefore meet B Lab’s requirements for social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
B Lab is not a conformity assessment body within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No. 765/2008, nor a national, European, or international standardization body within the meaning of Regulation (EU) No. 1025/2012. The BIA criteria are separate from and independent of the harmonized standards established by ISO or other standardization bodies and have not been ratified by national or European public institutions.
Sustainability Statement 2025
Every year since 2008, we have committed to preparing and sharing our Sustainability Statement, which transparently describes the results achieved and future goals, fostering dialogue and continuous improvement.
