Instagrid Celebrates New B Corp Certification
What is B Corp Certification? B Corp Certification is awarded to companies that meet the highest standards in regard to social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. The assessment process, performed by B Lab – B Corp’s international nonprofit network – is rigorous. Each company is thoroughly assessed based on a variety of factors, ranging from how it treats its employees to its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices.
Why This Matters Achieving B Corp Certification represents more than just a badge of honor; it is a testament to Instagrid’s ongoing dedication to creating positive impact not only within our organisation, but on a global scale. B Corp’s impact vision aligns with our core values and mission to revolutionise mobile power and reduce the release of harmful emissions into the environment. Here are a few reasons why earning this certification is significant to us at Instagrid:
Commitment to Environment: We are dedicated to cutting down local air pollution levels on a global scale by replacing combustion engines with our clean portable power technology. In addition, we focus on improving our product circularity and reducing our overall product carbon footprint.
Social Responsibility: This commitment naturally extends to Instagrid’s employees, suppliers, and customers. Instagrid aims to improve workplace conditions in a wide variety of sectors. Furthermore, we strive to foster a positive and inclusive workplace while contributing towards the well-being of society.
Transparency and Accountability: Having B Corp Certification means we at Instagrid are committed to full transparency in our business practices and to holding ourselves accountable to the higher standards of ethical conduct.
Our Journey The path to B Corp Certification has been both challenging and rewarding. It involved a comprehensive review, performed by Instagrid’s ESG team, of our practices as a company – as well as a deep reflection on how we can continue to improve over time. The concept of sustainability not only concerns where we source our materials, but also our approach to product design, product end-of-life, and improving the daily lives of our employees. We’re proud of the strides we have made, and this certification is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire Instagrid team.
Looking Ahead Our B Corp certification is just the beginning. We at Instagrid are excited for what the future holds and are committed to continuous improvement – however, that improvement requires collective action. To conserve resources more effectively, we need governments, businesses, and NGOs to unite with us in the clean portable power movement, and continue to progress towards the global energy transition.
