The Brazilian company has increased its environmental commitments in recent years.
The 26-year-old company has compiled a score of 85.5 points for its social and environmental performance and has answered more than 300 questions. Like other multinational corporations, Farm Rio had to meet such benchmarks as allowing information about its performance to be measured against B Lab’s standards and to be made available publicly on their B Corp profile on B Lab’s website. B Lab is the nonprofit that determines B Corp certification.
But the certification calls for more international efforts. Collectively, B Corp companies strive to decrease poverty and inequality and bolster purposeful jobs and communities, and work together internationally to reduce poverty and inequality, strengthen communities, create jobs with purpose, leave behind a healthier environment and use business for the betterment of others.
Over the past few years, the company has been literally cultivating the land through a partnership with the nonprofit charity , which is committed to reforestation efforts across Brazilian biomes, including the Amazon rainforest. Three years after planting the first seed for a tree, the company has planted more than 1 million trees through its “1,000 trees a day, every day” reforestation program. The efforts can be seen in all of the six Brazilian biomes.
Farm Rio has also been working to reduce the CO2 emissions of the numerous collections of apparel and other items that it produces each year. As a result, the collections have become 100 percent carbon neutral, from the print design to orders and deliveries.
