"Since launching Fermoie in 2012, we have remained committed to designing and making beautifully crafted products with inherent longevity, using responsible materials and considered manufacturing methods. Our B Corp certification recognises the meaningful progress achieved across every part of our business, the result of dedication, care, and collaboration from the entire team. It's wonderful to see their hard work and enthusiasm recognised in this way."
"By joining the global B-Corp community, we stand alongside businesses who share our belief that meaningful, long-term progress depends on collaboration and collective responsibility. No individual company or industry can solve the challenges of sustainability alone. We're proud to be part of this movement for positive change." Martin Ephson, co-founder Fermoie.
To achieve certification, Fermoie completed the B Impact Assessment. This involved an in-depth evaluation of its business across five key areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers. The company achieved a verified score of 84.8 points: certification is awarded to applicants scoring 80 or above. In working towards B Corp certification, Fermoie has made incremental but meaningful improvements across its operations to ensure it meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
This work builds on the company's founding principle that success is measured not only by its products' beauty, joyfulness and longevity, but by its positive impact on people and the wider world. This is not an end point, but part of an ongoing commitment to operating responsibly and creating products that bring lasting enjoyment, whilst minimising their impact on people and the planet.
