Sympatex achieves B-Corp certification
16/11/2018
This accolade is administered by US agency B-Lab. It is only granted after a thorough, multi-level audit of an organisation’s structure.
Sympatex has been adjudged to operate in a way that is not solely focused on maximising profit, but that also demonstrates a commitment to transparency, environmental protection and social responsibility.
Dr Rüdiger Fox, CEO of Sympatex Technologies, said: “Being an official member and part of the worldwide growing B-Corp community is not only a great honour for us. In times of increasing calls for ‘Me first’, we also want to send a signal that we as a commercial enterprise need to recognise our responsibility for the overall social and ecological system and must not abuse it unilaterally for our own interests.”
He added that the company is committed to continuing its good work, especially in the area of sustainability in the textile industry.
