Real Living Wage Employer
In early 2021, we joined the Real Living Wage, ensuring it's paid to all employees, including temporary workers.
ProCook is proud to be certified as a B Corp™
This company meets the highest standards of social and environmental impact, joining a select but growing group of companies committed to using business as a force for good.
What's a B Corp?
The B Corp certification helps consumers identify companies with a mission to benefit people, communities and the planet alongside their obligations to shareholders.
From employee benefits and charitable giving, to supply chain practices and materials used, certified B Corporations (B Corps for short) consider their impact on their workers, communities, customers, and planet in each decision they make.
To certify as a B Corp, businesses participate in a rigorous B Impact Assessment, where they must achieve a score of 80 or above. B Corp businesses are required to recertify every three years to encourage continuous improvements, leading to their long-term resilience.
Our B Corp Journey
We began our journey to becoming a B Corp back in August 2021, when CEO Daniel O'Neill wanted a true reading on how sustainable ProCook was as a business, and was looking at ways to improve.
Slowly and surely we worked on all the areas addressed by B Corp certification, raising standards to grow and develop a better ProCook for the future. In 2022 we reached a B Corp score of 80 enabling us to certify as a B Corp and marking a significant step in our progress as a business.
We're very proud of our B Corp score - it's an important indicator of where we are now and sets out how we can develop, grow and improve for the future. We're honoured to be taking our first step on the B Corp journey with this certification and hope to demonstrate our dedication and commitment when we are reassessed in three years.
At ProCook we strongly believe in honouring our responsibilities to our customers, our colleagues and our planet which is every bit as important as our commercial goals and so we're incredibly proud of our B Corp Status. Alongside our sustainability goals and the roadmap we are creating to help us reach Net Zero, our membership of B Corp helps us ensure we are on the right track.
