Cottonique’s Commitment to Ethical Clothing: Achieving B Corp Certification

Cottonique’s Commitment to Ethical Clothing: Achieving B Corp Certification
Our B Corp Certification is a major milestone in our journey towards creating allergy-free, sustainable, and ethically made clothing. It is a testament to our unwavering commitment to putting people and the planet first.
At Cottonique, we understand that consumers are increasingly mindful of the brands they support. It’s no longer just about comfort and style; you seek authenticity, transparency, and a commitment to positive social and environmental impact. The recent B Corp Certification of our parent company, Essential Layer Inc (ELI), reaffirms that commitment, ensuring that when you choose Cottonique, you select a brand that prioritizes ethical practices at every level.

What Is a B Corporation?

Certified B Corporations meet the highest social and environmental performance standards, accountability, and transparency. Cottonique’s certification reflects our dedication to these principles. B Corps are evaluated on financial success and how they positively impact workers, customers, communities, and the environment.

Our Path to B Corp Certification

The road to B Corp Certification is not easy, but it's a journey we undertook with determination. Cottonique, through ELI, underwent a comprehensive B Impact Assessment (BIA) that rigorously evaluated our efforts across five areas: governance, workers, community, environment, and customers. Scoring an overall B Impact Score of 112.0, we exceeded the threshold and demonstrated our firm commitment to making ethical business choices. This process should instill confidence in you about our dedication to ethical practices.
