Butcher of Blue
is B Corp™ certified!

“Becoming B Corp certified isn’t just a badge—it’s a reflection of our values. We believe business should be a force for good, and this certification holds us accountable to building a company that’s not just profitable, but also responsible, inclusive, and sustainable.” Maarten Rijnders, Co-Owner

Why B Corp™ Matters to Butcher of Blue

For Butcher of Blue, becoming a B Corp is more than a certification; it’s a commitment to align our business with our values.

We believe in creating timeless, durable clothing that not only looks good but does good - for people and the planet.

By achieving a score of 104 in the B Impact Assessment, we’ve proven our dedication to social and environmental impact, accountability, and transparency. But this isn’t the end of our journey, it’s the start of improvement.

How to be a B Corp ™

Our B Corp journey involved rigorous assessment in five key impact areas:

·      Governance: Implementing structures that ensure accountability to all stakeholders, not just shareholders.

·      Workers: Ensuring fair wages, safe working conditions, and employee well-being.

·      Community: Supporting local communities and actively participating in responsible sourcing.

·      Environment: Minimizing our environmental footprint by producing durable, sustainable clothing.

·      Customers: Creating high-quality products that prioritize long-term value over fleeting trends.

What Our B Corp Score of 104 Means

A B Impact Assessment score above 80 qualifies for certification. Scoring 104 is a testament to our commitment to sustainable practices.

It reflects our dedication to making responsible choices across our entire business. From sourcing organic cotton to maintaining ethical partnerships with suppliers.

It’s a testament to the choices we make on employment; we are inclusive in the broadest sense and proudly work together with people with barriers to employment and refugees of war.

We give 2% back

At Butcher of Blue, we don’t just create clothing - we’re crafting pieces with a purpose. Our mission is to produce timeless, well-made garments that respect both people and the planet. This means using sustainable materials, reducing waste, and working with partners who share our values of transparency and fair practices. We believe in responsible production, where every piece tells a story of quality and conscious craftsmanship.

But it’s not just about what we make, it’s also about what we give back. We’re proud to be part of a supportive community, and use our business as a force for good. Every year we donate 2% of our revenue in products to local and national causes. We’re always open to new ideas and opportunities, whether it’s pro bono work, donations, or collaborations that inspire and uplift.
