What does it mean to be the first footwear company in Italy to become a B Corp?

We are talking about it today with Riccardo Aragona, CMO at ACBC.

According to Riccardo’s experience, the certification changes perspectives and expectations: the level of your quality becomes higher, sustainability extends to every person and every process, internal and external to the company.

It means working only with partners who are in line with your standards and guarantee transparency at all levels: with your customers, your suppliers worldwide and your stakeholders.

Being a B Corp is not always easy, the complexity increases, but the resulting benefits are worth it.
