We are now a Certified B Corp: A Milestone in Our Commitment to Purpose and Positive Impact
Etch is now a Certified B Corp, a milestone that reflects our unwavering dedication to improving the world we live in.
This accomplishment marks the culmination of a two-year journey, during which we proved to support and endorse the highest standards of social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability.
Why B Corp?
Certified B Corporations are businesses that meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
The B Corp Certification is more than a mark of sustainability; it’s about commitment to balance profit and purpose.
As part of the B Corp community, Etch has the opportunity to join a global movement of like-minded companies using business as a force for good.
Our Journey to Certification
Over the course of two years, we examined every aspect of our business—from governance and our relationships with our staff and clients, to how we impact the environment and the community at large.
The B Corp impact assessment gave us the opportunity to assess our operations and business model across five key areas to ensure that we are indeed operating in a way that measurable positive impact:
- Governance – How transparent and accountable we are in our operations.
- Workers – How well we support and engage our employees.
- Community – Our contribution to the economic and social well-being of the communities we operate in.
- Environment – Our efforts to reduce environmental impact and manage sustainability.
- Customers – Our delivery of positive value and ethical practices to customers.
Why B Corp Matters
For Etch, becoming a B Corp isn’t just a badge—it’s a reflection of our core values.
We believe that business can be a force for good, and this certification solidifies our commitment to building a company that not only thrives in business but also contributes positively to society and the planet.
Research has consistently shown that B Corps outperform traditional businesses across several critical metrics. For instance, in 2021, B Corps experienced faster growth in turnover (27% vs. 5%) and employee headcount (14% vs. 1%) than their non-B Corp counterparts. B Corps also benefit from higher employee engagement, diversity, and innovation, and they are more successful in securing equity finance (70% vs. 56%).
These results align with our vision at Etch—to foster growth that benefits our team, our clients, and the world around us.
