NEW YORK, April 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Here We Flo, the company revolutionizing the period, bladder, and sexual wellness category is proud to announce that it has achieved recognition as a Certified B Corporation™ ("B Corp"), becoming one of the few menstrual health companies in the world to earn this prestigious designation.
B Corporation certification is awarded to companies that meet rigorous social and environmental performance standards, and are committed to using business as a force for good. To become a Certified B Corporation® you must score at least 80 points. Here We Flo achieved 109.9 points. By meeting these standards, Here We Flo has demonstrated its commitment to making a positive impact on the world and to being a leader in the menstrual health industry.
Founded six years ago by Susan C. Allen and Tara Chandra, Here We Flo is on a mission to challenge shame and disrupt the period, bladder, and sexual wellness markets with its organic and vegan products, including tampons, pads, bladder pads, and condoms.
"Becoming a B Corp™ is a dream come true for us. Our vision for Here We Flo was to create a business that did good from cradle to customer and B Corp™ is proof that we're succeeding in that vision," said Susan C Allen. "Achieving our B Corp status has only intensified our motivation to continue being sustainably funny, feminist and fierce, and creating a world where our messiest bodily moments inspire laughter rather than feelings of shame and stigma."
Here We Flo's B Corp certification is the result of a rigorous assessment process which measures a company's impact on its employees, customers, community, and the environment. Globally, Here We Flo has saved 17 million tampons/pads and over 2 million bladder pads from landfills.
Here We Flo also uses sustainable materials, such as bamboo and sugarcane to make their products, increasing awareness of plant-based manufacturing.
