We are proud to share the news that we have reached a significant milestone in our sustainability journey. CAMILLA is now officially a Certified B Corp.
This momentous achievement has been years in the making. B Corp recognises us as a brand that is committed to business for good, and upholds the highest standards of social and environmental impact, accountability and transparency.
As a B Corp, we join a global community of likeminded businesses who prioritise sustainability and conscious creation, and who lead the way in benefiting our planet and its people.
"The urge to protect Mother Earth is embedded into our very soul. B Corp Certification gave us a foundation to build on… a frame that gave structure and purpose to what we’d been weaving by heart.”
“B Corp Certification is the formal recognition of our fierce respect for our muse Mother Earth, and our unwavering devotion to protecting and nurturing our planet, its people and the communities we operate in. It is the result of almost two years’ collective work by our teams worldwide, and the culmination of decades of commitment to conscious creation." – Camilla Franks

The journey has been demanding, meticulous and incredibly thorough, requiring collaboration and commitment from the entire CAMILLA team, both here and in India, and with our suppliers around the world. The depth of research, examination and discussion it required gave us – both individually and collectively – a chance to return to what matters most: our dedication to continuous improvement, the relationships and the values that we hold so dear, and – more than anything – the symbiotic connections between us, our planet, our artisans, our people, and our community… which are so fundamental to our success.
B Corporation Certification is a global framework that measures a company’s entire social and environmental impact across the areas of Governance, Workers, Environment, Customers and Community. B Lab is the non-profit organisation behind the B Corp Certification.
To be granted and to maintain a B Corp Certification, companies must receive a minimum score of 80 points in a rigorous assessment across its social and environmental performance. We are proud to say CAMILLA scored a total of 88.4 points.
To achieve this, each business must show that it meets the highest social and environmental standards, creating a positive impact and using their business as a force for good in the world.
“Mother Nature truly is the greatest muse. We dance to the rhythm of her beating heart, and our ode to her plays through how we choose to live our lives with purpose, and through that we create.” – Camilla Franks
Further information about our score and our impact, measured against global B Lab standards is available on the B Corp website.
First and foremost, we chose to pursue B Corp certification because we share the values of the B Corp global community.
The B Corp certified logo is fast becoming a globally recognised symbol that identifies a company’s dedication to upholding the highest possible environmental and social standards. B Corp is a global benchmark that identifies what is ‘best practice’ and recognises the companies that continuously strive to meet – and exceed – that benchmark.
The journey to becoming a B Corp gave us a framework to formalise our commitment, understand and measure our impact, hold ourselves accountable, and a path to continuously improve. The process gave us a platform to deeply explore our connection to Mother Earth, our people and to the arts and traditional crafts of our partners in India.
Becoming a B Corp shows that, as a business, we are genuinely doing our best to have a positive environmental and social impact, and that we are committed to continuously improving.
B Corporation Certification recognises the ongoing commitment to best practice that is embedded in the CAMILLA business.
B Corp Certification isn’t a ‘one and done’ situation. It’s measured every three years, which allows us to work towards new goals, to continuously improve.
“For us, this is an ongoing process… a never-ending journey. We will be constantly striving to improve, to do better. We look forward to seeing our progress in three years." – Camilla Franks
We look forward to sharing these improvements with you, updating you on discoveries, changes, stories, and what’s to come.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us!
