Pet supplement manufacturer Lintbells has announced that it has been awarded B Corp status.
Lintbells is one of only 11 companies globally within the pet care sector to be awarded B Corp certification and one of around 2,300 businesses overall in the UK.
The company has demonstrated robust ESG governance by integrating sustainability as a cornerstone of its business strategy.
This was recently reinforced by the appointment of Kerry Doble, chief sustainability officer, to the executive leadership team, specifically to progress ESG initiatives.
The company is also working towards a Net Zero pathway centred on science-based targets and has not only completed mapping of its own direct carbon emissions (Scope 1), but also those for Scope 2 and 3 across their supply chain.
When sourcing new ingredients Lintbells will shortly be operating within stringent ‘red lines’, adhering to deforestation-free, GM-free, and palm oil-free specifications.
Lintbells has already successfully verified approximately 50% of their ingredients as sustainably sourced and aim to be 100% sustainable by 2027.
Doble said: “From its inception, Lintbells was established on principles that reflected its founders’ core social and environmental values. Since then, those values have informed our approach to the environmental, social, and governance factors that are at the forefront of our decision-making, driving sustainable growth and ethical business practices.
“Our B Corp certification is testament to our commitment to continuously carry these values forward and deliver not only a profitable business, but ensure we meet the needs and expectations of all stakeholders.”
