Perspective
Acrylicize is a Certified B Corporation
Creativity and purpose has always been at the core of what we do. As a business rooted in art, innovation, and collaboration, we’ve long prioritized our people, our culture, and our impact on the world around us. Becoming a certified B Corporation wasn’t about reinventing ourselves, but about aligning our existing values with a globally recognized framework for doing business better.
Building on a Solid Foundation
When we first explored the idea of B Corp certification, we recognized many parallels with how we already operated. From nurturing a workplace culture centered on health and wellbeing, to working with suppliers who share our values, and giving back to our community. Our business practices have always reflected a commitment to positive change. B Corp guidelines affirmed these efforts, but importantly, they challenged us to measure them, refine them, and push them further.
B Corp as a Catalyst for Growth
The certification process allowed us to take a closer look at every aspect of how we operate; from governance and customers, to environmental impact and our community. It showed us areas where we were excelling, and offered opportunities to do more. With the framework in hand, we set new company-wide goals, laying the groundwork for ongoing progress. One of the most rewarding aspects of the journey has been the opportunity to reflect on our culture. People have always been at the heart of what makes Acrylicize tick. Whether it’s through nurturing our team’s creativity, collaborating with clients who share our values, or contributing to causes close to our hearts. Ultimately, our people and our community are our biggest strength.
