March marks B Corp Month, a global celebration of businesses using their force for good—and for City Apparel + Merch, it’s an extra special moment. We’re proud to be celebrating ONE YEAR as a Certified B Corporation™!
When we achieved our B Corp certification in March 2024, it wasn’t just a badge of honor; it was a promise. A promise to our clients, our team, and our community that we are committed to doing business differently. To us, profit and purpose aren’t either-or choices—they go hand in hand. B Corp Month is the perfect time to reflect on that journey and the impact we’ve made so far.
What Does It Mean to Be a B Corp?
Certified B Corporations are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability. It’s not an easy certification to earn, and that’s the point. It demonstrates a company’s genuine commitment to balancing purpose and profit, creating value not just for shareholders but for all stakeholders.
At City Apparel + Merch, our B Corp status holds us accountable. It’s a daily reminder to measure success by how we treat our people, our community, and the planet.
One Year of Impact and Counting
Over the past year, we’ve been intentional about embedding B Corp values into every part of our business. Here are a few highlights from our first year as a Certified B Corp:
Sustainability at the Core
- We expanded our product offerings and guided clients toward sustainable choices and B-Certified products, including recycled materials and ethically sourced merch. We’re helping our partners make an impact with every purchase.
People First
- Our team is our family. From offering professional development opportunities to fostering a culture of inclusivity and work-life balance, we’re committed to being a company where people love to work.
Giving Back to Our Community
- This year, we deepened our partnerships with local nonprofits, contributing both time and resources to support the communities we live in. Our philanthropic efforts are focused on causes close to our hearts—from education to sustainability.
Transparency and Trust
- B Corp status demands transparency. We’ve continued to open the books and be clear with our stakeholders about how we operate and the standards we uphold.
Why B Corp Month Matters
B Corp Month is a chance to celebrate all businesses striving to make a difference. But it’s also an invitation to do more. Being part of the B Corp community means standing shoulder-to-shoulder with thousands of companies worldwide working toward a shared goal: a more inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy.
