What Is B Corp Certification?

Measuring a Company’s Entire Social and Environmental Impact

 

As a B Corp, we are part of a global community of companies committed to meeting high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.

Unlike product-specific certifications, B Corp takes a holistic approach, evaluating a company’s overall impact across five categories: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers.

HOW DOES SØRENSEN LEATHER LIVE UP TO B CORP STANDARDS?

Going Beyond Industry Standards

Sørensen Leather is exceeding EU regulations and industry norms through deliberate choices and high standards. With a focus on certifications, Lifecycle Assessment (LCA), responsible production practices, and strong supplier partnerships, we are dedicated to driving positive change.

This commitment is central to our B Corp certification.

RESOURCE CONSERVATION & TOXIN REDUCTION

We prioritize partnerships and responsible production methods that positively influence the industry and exceed EU standards.

At the same time, we have a huge focus on certifications which impose stringent demands on water and chemical consumption as well as energy usage, in order to reduce toxins and preserve global resources.

CERTIFICATIONS & PRODUCT STANDARDS

Almost 70% of our product range is certified as a result of decades of commitment to responsible production and collaboration with certification authorities.

Our certifications include OEKO-Tex®, Blue Angel, The Danish Indoor Climate Label as well as Animal Protection Denmark. These certifications ensure that our collections have been produced according to regulations which exceed the standard EU requirements.

ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP

Our Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) was conducted according to ISO Standard 14067:2018 and is third-party verified. It provides concrete data on Sørensen Leather’s carbon footprint, focusing on short- and long-term impacts.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Long-standing relationships with production partners are strengthened through regular visits and close collaboration, as reflected in our high score in the Community category.

CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS

Decades of building strong customer relationships are supported by knowledge sharing, guidance, and good service that encourage environmentally conscious choices, such as selecting natural, long-lasting materials like leather for their projects. Our low complaint and return rates further validate our commitment.

 

A significantly above-average impact score

 

To become B Corp certified, companies must:
  • Demonstrate high social and environmental performance by completing the B Impact Assessment and scoring at least 80 points across five categories:
    Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers. Based on this assessment, Sørensen Leather achieved an overall score of 99.7. The certification process includes a thorough review of all responses and verification of submitted documents, ensuring full transparency and providing added reassurance to our customers and partners.
  • Make a legal commitment to be accountable to all stakeholders.
  • Exhibit transparency by allowing information about the company’s performance measured against B Lab’s standards to be publicly available on B Lab’s website.
