Sustainable Growth
|
BCorp® Certification collects data from the companies it audits to determine their impact on the environment and society. In 2019 PARAFINA became the first Spanish eyewear brand to be BCorp certified, more than proving that by meeting the highest standards of social and environmental impact, we are one of the best companies for the world. As Certified B Corporations and leaders of this emerging economy, we believe: - That we must be the change we seek in the world. - That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered. - That, through their products, practices, and profits, businesses should aspire to do no harm and benefit all. To do so requires that we act with the understanding that we are each dependent upon another and thus responsible for each other and future generations. |
