Why #WeGoBeyond?
B Corp is an internationally recognized label considered the most comprehensive in terms of social, environmental and societal impact.
Being B Corp certified is not just about obtaining a label but embarking on a path of transformation, demanding and exciting, and more essential than ever to meet the challenges of our time.
The B Corp movement brings together a community of businesses around the world around a common goal: to transform the economy by proving that it is possible for a company to make a positive contribution to society and the environment.
Currently, nearly 200 certified B Corp companies in France are trying to demonstrate that it is possible to reconcile profit and the collective interest, that is to say “using business as a force for good”
How #WeGoBeyond?
Angarde's overall impact was assessed on more than 200 questions ranging from carbon footprint to employee well-being.
Today it is our responsibility to maintain these high environmental and social standards which revolve around:
- Circularity: nothing should be thrown away, everything should be reused
It all starts with the design of our models using recycled, upcycled or eco-designed materials, sourced in Europe so as not to produce new polluting materials and not to promote intensive agriculture.
In addition, we recycle your Angarde pairs at the end of their life in order to transform them into a new pair.
- Proximity and collaboration with our stakeholders
We select our suppliers based on the quality of the materials but also their environmental commitments.
We also raise awareness among our customers and our community about environmental issues.
- A preserved coastline
For several years, we have supported the NGO Surfrider Foundation Europe which fights daily to preserve the oceans from all forms of pollution. Thanks to 1% For The Planet, we donate 1% of our turnover to Surfrider every year. We also organize waste collections to protect the coastline alongside Surfrider: moments of conviviality with the team serving a great cause!
- A healthy work environment
It is essential for us to offer a fulfilling work environment that is respectful of professional and personal life.
For example, it is essential for us to improve the management of our office consumables to limit their environmental impact (avoid unnecessary paper printing, systematically sort waste, reduce electricity consumption, etc.)
Or the importance of work-life balance by implementing flexible policies (example: teleworking, etc.) which respect the requirements of employees' personal lives and which promote a happier, less stressed and more productive.
And to go further, we aim to further reduce our carbon footprint, continue to support environmental initiatives and further promote a corporate culture around our strong values.
Our goal is not to be the best in the world but to be the best for the world.
