WE ARE A CERTIFIED B CORP!

We’re proud to share that TFP is now a certified B Corp, joining a global community of 6,000+ businesses across 80+ countries committed to balancing purpose and profit. It’s a milestone that reflects the progress we’ve made to strengthen how we operate, and reinforces our commitment to driving positive change across the furniture industry.

Our Assessment and Commitment

Having begun our journey to B Corp certification in October 2021, we’re excited to have reached this milestone as part of our mission to progress our sustainability goals, including our net zero commitment by 2040, and to work with our clients, partners and suppliers to help lead the furniture industry into a more sustainable future.

The B Corp movement (the B standing for “Benefit for all”) is helping transform the global economy to benefit all people, communities and the planet. To become B Corp certified, businesses must achieve a verified score of 80+ points in the B Impact Assessment, a tool that measures operations across five impact areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers.

We’re proud to have achieved a verified score of 86.8, demonstrating TFP’s performance, transparency and accountability across these areas. You can view our listing here: The Furniture Practice on B Lab’s directory.

As much as the assessment validates the work we’ve done so far, certification is also a practical framework for improvement: helping to drive us forward, highlighting where we need to do more, and shaping our next steps for development and innovation.

To maintain certification, B Corps must update their B Impact Assessment and verify their updated score every three years. As part of this commitment, we will continue to measure and manage our climate impact, including Scope 3 emissions, and renew our certification in line with evolving standards.

Journey to improvement

B Corp certification builds on the commitments we’ve already made in our journey to improvement, including our ambition to be carbon neutral across TFP operations by 2025 and our net zero target by 2040.

We’re also part of collaborative networks that help identify challenges and drive best practice, including the UKGBC and Sustainable Design Collective. We look forward to continuing to work with our clients, partners and suppliers, and the wider industry, to help shape a more sustainable and equitable future.
