Joanie Clothing, the British retailer specialising in modern vintage womenswear, has obtained B Corporation certification, becoming a part of a distinguished network comprising 7,000 B Corp-certified businesses worldwide, including over 1,400 in the UK.
Chris Turner, Executive Director of B Lab UK, warmly welcomed Joanie Clothing into the vibrant B Corp community, underscoring the movement’s overarching mission to redefine business practices for the greater good. Lucy, Brand Director of Joanie Clothing, said, “We’ve always tried to take a forward-thinking, conscious outlook towards the products we create, choosing the most environmentally responsible fabric or yarn for all our designs, made by accountable suppliers who are audited to best-in-class levels both socially and environmentally – and our B Corp Certification confirms that.”
The rigorous B Corp certification evaluates a company’s impact across five fundamental areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers.
