Force for Good
Ever noticed the B Corp Certified logo on a
product and wondered what it actually means?
We got recertified with 114,5 points!
Behind that small circle with a ’B’ is a global movement of companies using business as a force for good. And we’ve been proud to be part of it since 2021.
Becoming a B Corp means meeting the highest standards of social and environmental impact, transparency, and accountability.
For us, it’s yet another recognition of our approach we’ve taken from the very beginning: every choice we make - from how we design, where we source our materials, and how we care for our team - supports our mission to shift from the Industrial Revolution to an Industrial Evolution. A shift that replaces careless growth with conscious progress.

We got recertified!
Becoming a B Corp is just the first step. Every three years, companies must recertify. Not by repeating the past, but by demonstrating how they’ve improved.
We are pleased to share that we passed our recertification in an impressive way: we raised our B Corp Impact score from 85.4 to 114.5!
Let us explain where this big leap forward comes from. For this recertification we have been focusing on three important areas: workforce development, resource conservation, and reducing harmful toxins. However, there are more highlights worth sharing.

How we improved our score
We raised our B Corp score through impactful improvements across our business. Here are some key highlights:
Resource Conservation
We now source recycled and low-carbon aluminium for our cardprotectors, significantly reducing emissions and energy use. This aligns with B Lab’s Resource Conservation Impact Business Model, which rewards companies that lower environmental impact through responsible material sourcing.
Toxin Reduction
We source leather from European tanneries that follow strict environmental standards, many certified by the Leather Working Group. This supports the Toxic Reduction Impact Business Model, which recognises products that use fewer hazardous chemicals than conventional alternatives.
Anti-Corruption Practices
We introduced a whistleblower policy to strengthen transparency and integrity. It enables employees and partners to report concerns safely and anonymously, fostering a culture of accountability.
Policy Advocacy
Through our Valuing Capabilities campaign, we promoted inclusive employment and published a whitepaper to help companies collaborate with sheltered workplaces. These efforts earned recognition for policy influence and knowledge sharing.

Other Highlights
Through a partnership with Oscar Circulair, we enhanced our waste reduction efforts, enabling better tracking and evaluation. We added concrete goals for water, energy, and CO₂ reduction to the Secrid Sustainability Ambitions, integrating environmental management into our policies. Additionally, we introduced Paperwise packaging for the Coinpocket, made from agricultural waste and printed with non-toxic ink. Finally, we switched to sustainable pension provider ASR and installed air quality monitors in the office to actively manage and adjust indoor conditions.
This recertification is not the end, it’s a powerful reminder that conscious progress is a daily choice, and when we say, “A better world starts in your pocket”, we’re not just talking about our responsibility. Your choices matter too. Every time you support a B Corp you back a more responsible way of doing business and help create a future we can all believe in.

The Industrial Evolution
Instead of ‘cheaper and worse’, new products must be developed which are intrinsically ‘better, more sustainable and more valuable’ than products that came before.
