Number 8 was the most ambitious of all: to start our journey toward becoming a B Corporation, with 360 days refining our application to gain certification, we were more relieved than anything that we have finally become B Corp certified, it has been one of the most challenging and fulfilling journeys we have ever been on as a company and team officially becoming one of the biggest milestone moments in our near 30-year history.

Why B Corp Matters so much to Wild Thang is because B Corp Certification is one of the most rigorous and comprehensive Certification evaluation processes globally. The B Corp certification process, overseen by the nonprofit organisation B Lab, evaluates a company’s entire social and environmental performance, from supply chain practices to employee welfare and governance. This more importantly, legally commits Wild Thang to use its business as a force for good by creating a material positive impact on society and the environment through its business and operations. Considering 'stakeholder interests', including your shareholders, employees, suppliers, society and the environment.

“We know that there is still much to be done in the future, but it's progress, not perfection. With a continuous improvement mindset, we are incredibly proud to be part of the amazing B Corp community. We can’t wait to embed ourselves into this mission and are excited to stand alongside other businesses that are a genuine force for good for both people and planet! Brabners law firm very kindly gave us some important free related legal advice. We also want to extend a special thank you to the 2030hub team, who have been a true partner, giving invaluable guidance which has helped us navigate the B Corp Certification process and has supported completing our carbon audits. Relief definitely turned into celebration at the official announcement and team celebration to see the B Corp flag being raised was an incredibly special and moving moment.” 

“Every member of the Wild Thang family has been part of helping make this special moment happen, but especially the other directors, senior team and our ESG manager Carrie Dwerryhouse, who has been the driving force to get officially certified. All our team and partners hard work has finally paid off its not every day you can now officially say we are one of the most sustainable, certified and award winning businesses in our industry sector and we can support other companies become more sustainable by choosing Wild Thang as your trusted branding partner, protecting clients' brand reputation and mitigates supply chain risk, while making a genuinely measurable ESG difference.”
