Leading glass packaging supplier Croxsons has received B Corporation (B Corp) certification, a globally recognised standard that measures social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
The certification recognises Croxsons as part of a select group of innovative organisations that meet the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. Certified by B Lab, the non-profit organisation behind the B Corp movement, this achievement proves that Croxsons has legally embedded its commitment to purpose beyond profit into its operations.
B Corp certification evaluates a business across five key areas: governance, workers, community, environment and customers. The thorough process took about a year to complete, with Croxsons’ longstanding values and established practices providing a solid foundation for the assessment.
Tim Croxson, CEO of Croxsons, said:
“We have a long history of wanting to make a difference, to our customers, our team and our local and global communities. B Corp gives us the accountability and transparency to demonstrate that we don’t just talk the talk, but we walk it too. It also provides a framework for how we can be even better. As a business, we can’t do everything, but we must do something.”
Giving back is fundamental to Croxsons’ culture, with the company’s charitable foundation - The Milk & Honey Trust - playing a vital role in its ethos. This dedication to social impact was a prominent aspect of the assessment and reflects the company’s belief in supporting both people and the environment.
The certification also reinforces Croxsons’ core values of integrity, responsibility and long-term partnership. The company sees its achievement not as a milestone, but as a natural evolution of its longstanding approach to business, one that already prioritises stakeholders, communities and sustainability in every decision.
Tim Croxson added:
“Achieving B Corp status felt like a validation of who we are. It wasn’t about redesigning our business, but recognising the way we already work and the values we’ve always held. For us, this is not a moment in time, but an ongoing journey to improve; to be a better employer, a better partner and a positive influence within our industry.”
Croxsons now joins over 10,000 B Corps worldwide, including Gu Puds, Tony’s Chocolonely, Patagonia and Sipsmith Gin.
The company announced the news on the first day of London Packaging Week, held on 15 and 16 October at Excel, London. Learn more about Croxsons here.
