Clean & vegan cosmetics company TAGA announced on February 18 that it had obtained B-Corporation certification.
B Corp certification is a global certification system that recognizes companies that fulfill social and environmental responsibility, and the company's operations are thoroughly evaluated for five major impacts (governance, workers, community, environment, and customers). To be certified, a company must pass a non-impact evaluation based on over 200 items, and less than 4% of companies worldwide can achieve this.
Currently, global companies such as Patagonia, Nespresso, and Ben & Jerry's have B Corp certification, and a total of 31 domestic companies including Taga. Taga received particularly high marks for its certification score of 95.7 points, excellence in the work environment with more than 70% of women, and carbon reduction and offset activities. Taga is the first in the domestic beauty industry to realize 320 tons of carbon offset, and is expanding its social and environmental impact through ESG management.
TAGA CEO Donghee Seo said, “Through B Corp certification, we are officially declaring the sustainable values that TAGA pursues and will solve social and environmental problems with business performance.” He added, “We will continue to accelerate the practice of carbon neutrality and grow into a global vegan cosmetics company that fulfills its environmental and social responsibilities.”
