Working Towards Global Sustainability Standards
On the Path to B Corp and ISO 14001 Certification
At BC SoftWear, sustainability is more than a commitment — it’s a continuous journey. While we remain dedicated to creating luxury textiles of the highest quality, we are equally focused on reducing our environmental impact. In 2025, we reached a major milestone by elevating our EcoVadis rating from Bronze to Gold — an achievement we are incredibly proud of. EcoVadis is an internationally respected benchmark for evaluating environmental, social, and ethical performance, and this significant jump reflects the meaningful progress we are making across our business.
We are proud to be working towards B Corp certification, a globally recognised standard for social and environmental responsibility, and are currently in the process of achieving ISO 14001 certification to strengthen our environmental management systems.
Our approach to sustainability runs through every part of our business — from product design and manufacturing to distribution and end-of-life recycling — ensuring that each decision we make moves us closer to a more sustainable future.

B Corp Certification
Becoming a certified B Corporation is one of our most significant goals for 2026.
This rigorous certification will formally recognise the work we’ve already undertaken to embed social and environmental responsibility into every part of our business — from supply chain transparency to employee wellbeing and community impact.
Our B Corp journey is already underway, and we are committed to meeting the highest verified standards of accountability and performance. Achieving certification will reinforce our long-standing belief that commercial success and positive impact can, and should, go hand in hand.
EcoVadis Platinum
Following our EcoVadis Gold rating in 2025, we are now working towards achieving EcoVadis Platinum, placing BC SoftWear within the top 1% of companies assessed globally for sustainability performance.
Reaching Platinum status will require continued progress across environmental impact, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. This milestone reflects our ambition to set a benchmark for sustainability within the luxury hospitality textile sector and to continually raise the bar for ourselves and our partners.
