We’re pleased to share that ProCook Group has been recertified as a B Corp. We achieved B Impact Score of 93.1, an increase of 13.1 points from our original score of 80 in 2022. Recertification reflects the progress we’ve made over the past few years to strengthen governance, environmental management and supply-chain standards, and to embed responsible decision-making into how we operate as a business. ProCook is among a relatively small group of larger UK companies to hold B Corp status. As sustainability becomes a baseline expectation in modern retail, we remain focused on delivering quality and value in a responsible way.
