Bambu recently completed its second B Corp recertification assessment for B Corp. The company earned a B Corp score of 111, a significant 25% improvement from our previous score, marking a significant milestone in our journey as a purpose-driven business. This score reflects more than just a number—it’s a measurable commitment to a better way of doing business, rooted in the values we’ve held from day one (1).
What Is A B Corp Certified Business?
A B Corp certified business meets the highest standards of social and environmental impact, verified by a rigorous third-party assessment. It means the company is committed to using business as a force for good—for people, the planet, and future generations.
Bambu’s growth has always followed a different path—one shaped by sustainable materials, ethical sourcing, and full accountability. And while scoring 111 in our latest B Corp Impact Assessment is something we’re proud of, it’s what that score represents that truly sets us apart.
“We’re part of a movement reshaping the global economy into one that works for all people and the planet.” says Co-Founder, Rachel Speth.
Our Triple Commitment: What 111 Means at Bambu
We like to say our 111 score stands on three (1-1-1) foundational commitments:
1. People
We’ve cultivated deep partnerships with our suppliers and production teams in China for over two decades. Fair wages, safe working conditions, and long-term relationships aren’t perks—they’re non-negotiables.
2. Planet
We design with nature in mind. From our use of FSC®-certified bamboo to our compostable tableware, our work centers on reducing impact while delivering enduring beauty. We don’t compromise when it comes to renewability, responsibility, or transparency.
3. Plastic-free
While many “eco” products still rely on greenwashed plastics or PLA, we go further. Our commitment is simple: no plastic, no PLA, no blends—just nature, made useful. This makes Bambu products not only compostable, but truly regenerative.
Raising the Standard for Environmental Responsibility
To achieve B Corp certification, businesses are assessed across five key areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers. Companies must meet or exceed rigorous standards in each category to be certified. At Bambu, our most significant progress in this recertification cycle came in the Environment category.
- Expanded the use of FSC®-certified materials across all our products, reinforcing our commitment to responsible sourcing.
- Relocated our headquarters office to a GOLD LEED-certified office building.
- Implemented a waste reduction program with our primary production partner, and published our first Sustainability Report.
- Conducted a full carbon footprint model of our business, and successfully met our carbon reduction goals through third-party verification as a Climate Neutral Certified company.
- To support our customers, we created an End-of-Life Primer to help extend the life of our products and guide proper disposal when they’ve served their purpose.
"Nature is one of business's most important stakeholders. By bringing Nature's voice into your organization, you recognize that the nature of business is Nature's business."
Part of a Global Movement for Better Business
Thanks to nearly 10,000 B Corps, in 100 countries, across more than 150 sectors and employing around 1 million people, we’re proud to be part of a movement reshaping the global economy into one that works for all people and the planet. It’s not just about profit—it’s about purpose.
B Corp certification challenges us to measure what matters—and do better every time. For us, that means sourcing smarter, designing cleaner, and building long-lasting alternatives to disposable plastic.
Why It Matters—And Why It Distinguishes Bambu
In a marketplace increasingly crowded with eco-claims, Bambu stands out for what we refuse to compromise on:
- Authentic sustainability over optics
- Independent certification over marketing buzzwords
- Traceability over convenience
- Regenerative natural materials over “bioplastics” and hybrids
Our latest B Corp Score of 111 reflects this uncompromising stance. We believe business should enrich—not exploit—the communities and ecosystems it touches.
