This embeds our purpose and plans for positive impact in our company DNA, so that we’re aware of our impact on people and the planet. We're proud to say Cortazu is the first Dutch outdoor brand to get B-Corp Certified.

What is B Corp™?
As a B Corp–certified organisation, our business is independently assessed against rigorous environmental, social, and governance standards. This certification verifies that we meet high benchmarks for ethical conduct, sustainability, and accountability, and that our performance is regularly reviewed by a trusted third party.
Being a B Corp means we are committed to transparency and continuous improvement. We actively measure and report our impact, and we evolve our business practices to address emerging social and environmental challenges, ensuring our values align with the expectations of our customers, communities, and the wider world.
