Rehome founder, Helen Lord, has called for kitchen and bathroom retailers who are searching for ways to align their businesses with sustainabillity values, to consider partnering with a BCorp certified business.
Lord said: “Identifying what makes a company sustainable and socially conscious can be challenging in a world where many organisations make these claims, some with more substantial evidence than others. Consequently, B Corporations are setting an essential standard for ethical business practices."
Rehome, which provides a platform for the supported sale of ex-display, slow-moving and end-of-line stock, was the first kitchen company to be awarded BCorp status in 2021. In addition, the company has just received recertification scoring 98.4 – this is 51% above the median score for ordinary businesses, which it says reflects its dedication to continually meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability.
Lord, pictured, believes that in today's competitive market, consumers are increasingly looking beyond product quality and price, and want to know that the brands they support are making a difference. As Rehome provides professionals with an immediate sustainable solution for customer pre-owned interiors being replaced, it can help retailers reduce their environmental impact and stand out in a crowded marketplace.
She said: "When retailers choose to collaborate with us, we provide immediate sustainable solutions that their customers will feel good about and, in the longer term, will future proof our industry against environmental legislation.”
