Becoming a B Corp is not a new beginning. It confirms what has always driven us: creating positive impact for people and the planet.
“B Corp is a recognition of what we’ve always stood for,” says CEO Frank van de Ven. “For us, business should be a force for good.”
From day one, the cleaner has been at the heart of i-team. Our machines save time, reduce physical strain and make cleaning safer and easier. Through our global i-partner network, we share knowledge and support so cleaners everywhere can work better and with more pride. Cleaner, healthier spaces benefit everyone.
Our impact reaches far beyond the cleaning industry. Since 2015 we have partnered with Made Blue, a foundation that provides access to clean drinking water in areas where it is still scarce. For every litre of water an i-mop saves, we donate the same amount to Made Blue projects. Together we have already realised more than 1.7 billion litres of clean water.
We also support two local foundations:
• i-support, helping vulnerable young people and the elderly in Eindhoven and Veghel
• WE-support, raising funds for good causes with 100% of proceeds going directly to charity
The B Corp certification gives us a clear framework to measure and improve our impact. In our first B Impact Assessment, we scored 91.5 points. The minimum score to qualify is 80.
“Certification is not the finish line,” says van de Ven. “It is the start of a new chapter. Every three years, the standards rise, and we will rise with them.”
B Corp is a global certification for companies that balance profit and purpose. The “B” stands for Benefit: creating value for workers, customers, communities and the planet.
