Cielo e Terra has recently been certified with the B-Corp certificate.

But what does this mean?

B-Corp stands for Benefit Corporation and it is a certification aiming to grant specific ethical standards to be achieved in a company. 

But "ethical" doesn't just mean looking after the environment. This certification promotes 360° ethical behaviors, taking into account other issues, like poverty, people's dignity, economy, communities, transparency, and so on. 

B-Corp certified companies meet the highest ethical standards and form a network. Its goal is to change the world one small step at a time, by redefining the concept of business success and building a more inclusive and sustainable economy. 

Today's problems can't be faced only by governments and non-profits organizations, business intervention is also needed.

B-Corps use profit and growth as a means to a higher goal: a positive impact on the environment, communities, and people. 

Achieving the certification wasn't easy for Cielo e Terra. It has been a long way, since 2016, when the Kaizen method and Lean Production were introduced and quality certification was achieved (ISO 9001, environmental management ISO 14000, and worker's safety ISO 45000). 

B THE CHANGE is the motto which best expresses this business philosophy, able to imagine and achieve a better future, for all.
