Hovia, a pioneering force in the UK interiors industry, is proud to announce that it has been awarded the esteemed B Corp™. This accolade underscores the company's unwavering commitment to social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
The B Corp™ certification is globally recognised as one of the most stringent standards for socially responsible businesses. It signifies the rigorous process that companies undergo to demonstrate their commitment to not just being the best in the world, but the best for the world. Achieving B Corp™ status places the Liverpool wallpaper manufacturer among an elite group of companies, like Patagonia, Aesop, and Ace & Tate.
The company's journey to B Corp™ certification involved a comprehensive evaluation of its social and environmental practices, including its supply chain, materials used, waste management, energy efficiency, and employee benefits. This achievement reflects the company's dedication to not only producing high-quality, sustainable wallpapers but also to making a positive impact on the community and the environment.
"We are thrilled to join the global community of B Corp™-certified companies," Richard Wilde, Managing Director of the Liverpool-based business. "This certification is a testament to our team's hard work and our commitment to sustainability and ethical business practices. We believe that our success should not come at the expense of the planet or people, and becoming a B Corp™ helps us ensure that we live up to this belief every day."
Hovia, which is a favourite for household names like Netflix, Ted Baker, John Lewis and Sofology, is committed to continuing its efforts to innovate and lead in the UK interiors industry, with a strong focus on sustainability and ethical practices. This B Corp™ certification not only distinguishes the company as a leader in responsible business but also serves as a call to action for other companies in the industry to strive for greater accountability and positive impact.
