Neutral receives EU’s highest B Corp rating

Neutral has received the highest B Corp certification in the EU, having more than doubled the required score.

The clothing brand was rewarded with a 175.8 from B Lab, making it the highest in the region and the highest rating for a B2B apparel company in the world.

B Corp is a globally recognised certification measuring a company’s entire social and environmental impact, with at least 80 points needed to join. The B Corp community includes companies such as Patagonia and Ben & Jerry’s.

Neutral went through tough assessment, evaluation and verification on its social and environmental performance, looking at five different impact areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers.

Neutral’s CEO, Lars Bech, said: “B Corp doesn’t certify the product but the company as a whole.

“We’ve been validated by specialists with questions like: Are you making a difference? Can you document it? What are the facts?

“I am so proud that B Corp recognises the long and hard work we’ve done at Neutral for more than 20 years.

“Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey, and thank you to all the companies and organisations who use and buy our clothes to make this possible.

“Thank you to all the hardworking employees who are part of Neutral, and of course, thank you to B Corp for making this opportunity to show what we do possible.
