ATS 2000 has obtained the B Corp certification
The B Corp international certification was created in 2006 by the non-profit organization B Lab - Wayne, Pennsylvania USA.
The goal that inspired the organization of B Lab is to use business as a driving force to create value for society and a positive impact on people and the environment.
In almost twenty years of life, more than 4,500 certified B Corporations have been born out of this need for positive evolution within 155 sectors and within 78 countries, including Italy, where you can count about 200 B Corps.
To become a B Corp it is necessary to pass the BIA (B Impact Assessment).
BIA is the protocol developed by B Lab which provides an in-depth assessment of company performance by taking into consideration 5 macro areas: governance, community, people, environment and customers.
The B Impact Assessment provided an evaluation to the environmental and social impact of our company; we have thus highlighted the most virtuous aspects of ATS2000 and created new paths, aimed at a positive evolution of the business.
We are thrilled to communicate this achievement and to be part of a worldwide movement that aims to generate a positive impact on society and the environment.
The B Corp certification reinforces the path already undertaken in 2022 which saw ATS2000 change its corporate statute and to become a Benefit Company.
This choice entails a constant and precise commitment to measuring one's own results and objectives which must be reported in the Impact Report which, since 2015, has also become a legal obligation.
Certification Notice
"Certified B Corporation" is a trademark lincensed by B Lab, a private non-profit organization, to companies like ours that have successfully completed the B Impact Assessment ("BIA") and therefore meet the requirements set by B Lab for social and enviromental performance, accountability, and transparency. It is specified that B Lab is not a conformity assessment body as defined by Regulation (EU) No 765/2008, nor is it a national, European, or international standardization body as per Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012. The criteria of the BIA are distinct and indipendent from the harmonized standards resulting from ISO norms or other standardization bodies, and they are not ratified by national or European public institutions.
