A B-Corp business is one that meets the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. B-Corps don’t just care about profit – they care about the planet and everyone on the planet too... and we're thrilled to say we passed the test!
Did you know? We donated funds to both the NSPCC & WWF charities where we adopted 8 animals through the ‘Gift Adoption Scheme’.
We also supported Home Start & Porch Box with nappy donations for underprivileged families here in the UK. A total of £8000 worth of nappies had been donated in 2020, and we couldn’t have been happier to play our part in such an important scheme.
Plus, we’re a Platinum Friend of the ‘Bamboo Village’ in Uganda. Here, we’re able to create and support local jobs within the bamboo plantation and community business village – a great way to boost the local community & oversee future achievements! Through this partnership, we have afforested an area of Uganda, meaning enhanced soil consistency, fertility and improving the ability for locals to plant small sustenance farms every day. Meaning that the community can become more self-sufficient. It’s a win, win!
Bamboo grows without gallons of irrigation, unlike cotton. Plus, the bamboo plant doesn’t need chemicals, pesticides, or fertilisers to grow. By using Bamboo as the core component for our products we ensure that we're using a plant with low water consumption, low needs for pesticides and sustainable certifications. So, when we say #BambooIsBest, it's not just for your baby it's for the environment too.
Don’t forget, we’re the ONLY company to use 100% compostable packaging. We can proudly say that we have developed & launched 80% compostable products and switched to 100% home compostable packaging. We’re #ProPlanet through and through!
Lastly, we launched the #NappyRevolution campaign, where we called on DEFRA to change the way councils handle nappy and wipe waste, because frankly, there needed to be a change (and fast!).
But our efforts won't end there, we are dedicated to continually work hard to improve things for your baby and the environment. That's why we are tasking ourselves to ensure that 20% net profits are donated to charitable causes in 2021, to continue our support for the WWF, The Little Village Project and The Bamboo Village.
We also promise to conscientiously recruit to balance gender and diversity, as well as reflect that diversity across all marketing materials and imagery to ensure that Mama Bamboo is fully inclusive.
Here's to a great 2021!
Environmentalist and green-parent guru, Lizzie Carr, talked about our Mama Bamboo products on Friday’s show of Steph’s Packed Lunch. Lots of you have subsequently been asking about how to compost our products…..read more here about how to effectively compost nappies and wipes at home.
