COMPANY NEWS
In 2016 the Davines Group joined the family of B Corps with a score of 99. In 2020, we're excited to share that we have recertified and improved our score up to 117.4 points.
For the Davines Group, 2019 was the year of B Corp recertification. The whole company was committed to finalizing the actions that have been implemented since 2016 with the purpose of improving our positive impact on people and the planet.
The goal was not just to get the B Corp recertification — we also wanted to considerably improve the score achieved in 2016. And we have been successful in this: three years ago, our score was 99, in 2020 we achieved a score of 117.4.
It is a testament to the commitment Davines Group has made to improve its positive impact on people and the environment.

“
Measuring and challenging oneself to produce an increasingly more positive impact on the people and the environment is a shared feeling amongst B Corps. We believe that in the future there will no longer be companies that do not share and implement regenerative actions to give back more than they take.
Being a B Corp means believing in an alternative business model where the respect for people and the environment is the focus of every day activities.
Davines is not only a Certified B Corporation, in 2019 it also became a Benefit Corporation. Let’s find out what these definitions mean.
B Corporations choose to distribute the value they create not only among shareholders, but also among all stakeholders: employees, suppliers, the local community where the company operates, the environment.
Davines has been a B Corp since 2016.
When a company decides to become a Benefit Corporation, it reinforces in its by-laws the commitment to operate not only for profit, but also for the benefit of the Planet and the community.
Davines has been a Benefit Corporation since 2019.

The B Corp recertification is not a destination, but another step forward in our journey to become an more sustainable business.
The B Lab has highlighted some areas where we can improve: they suggest that we work along the entire production chain to increase the protection of biodiversity.
Davines has already started this journey, in particular with the Essential Haircare line. Every Essential product contains an ingredient from a Slow Food Presidium to protect biodiversity, such as the Noto almond or Fiaschetto tomato.
From our products to our projects, everything that happens at Davines embraces the B Corp philosophy. Find out more clicking on the pictures below.
