Éminence Organic Skin Care has become a Certified B Corporation with an overall score of 82. This is a respected honor awarded to companies that meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. Certified B Corps also improve the quality of life in communities, address environmental problems, and inspire others. “We are thrilled that Éminence Organic Skin Care is the first professional skincare company in Canada to become a Certified B Corporation,” says Joyce Sou, director of B Lab Canada, the nonprofit certifying organization for B Corps. “On behalf of B Lab, we hope this inspires other cosmetic companies to join the global movement of people using business as a force for good.”
Since its founding in 1958, Éminence Organic Skin Care has been using sustainable farming and green practices to create natural, organic, and Biodynamic products. The brand also takes a holistic approach to help protect the future of the planet through its Forests for the Future initiative, which involves planting a tree in a developing country for every product sold. To date, Éminence has planted more than six million trees in 19 developing countries around the world, including Burundi, Ghana, Tanzania, and Uganda. “Becoming the first professional skincare company to receive B Corp Certification validates Éminence Organic Skin Care’s longstanding commitment to supporting the planet and expresses the principles we share with our customers,” says president Boldijarre Koronczay. “B Corp certification means our retailers and consumers can trust that our brand has assumed a stewardship role in affecting social and environmental change.”
