Exactly one year ago, bol officially became a B Corp. The B Corp certificate means that bol meets high standards for social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal liability. And with this we show that we are well on our way to more sustainable and social business operations.
Well on our way, because we have taken many steps in the field of corporate social responsibility in recent years. Three highlights that we are very proud of:
- The 23 advanced packaging machines in the bol fulfillment center ensure smarter and tailor-made packaging of items. Packages are smaller, less material is used and the box contains as little dead air as possible. Moreover, we increasingly send items without a so-called outer box. In 2023, we sent no less than 5.1 million of these types of ‘NoPack orders’, an increase of 20 percent compared to 2022.
- The daily operations in our distribution centers are carried out by CEVA, a company with years of expertise in fulfillment. Together we stand for equal pay: the employment conditions for all employees in our distribution centers are the same, regardless of whether it is a permanent or temporary contract.
- With the bollebozen initiative, we are committed to equal opportunities for children in the field of reading development and digital skills.
The B Corp certification sets a certain standard. At the same time, we are aware that our journey is far from complete. Our B Corp certification is a step and commitment to continue to improve ourselves. How? This is what our colleagues tell us in this video about one year of B Corp.
