Next Day Animations Earns B Corp Certification
Joins Global Community of Companies Using Business for Good
BALTIMORE, July 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Day Animations, an award-winning explainer video company, is thrilled to announce it has become a Certified B Corporation. Next Day Animations joins over 2,000 B Corps, which form a global community of businesses committed to the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility.
To receive this certification, Next Day Animations underwent a rigorous assessment administered by B Lab which measures and verifies several impact areas, including the environment, customers, community, and employees. Next Day Animations was certified jointly with its parent company Simplicity Works and sister company Simplicity Metrics.
"Since the beginning, we've been dedicated to using business as a force for good," says Caitlin Rogers, Productions Director and Co-owner. "It made perfect sense to undergo the process to become a B Corp, a certification which recognizes businesses for their commitment to social and environmental impact."
Next Day Animations has a history of centering social responsibility. Since 2016, the company has awarded an annual scholarship to young women of color through the Illustrating Awesomeness Scholarship program. In 2017, the company launched the annual Animations to Change the World Grant, which awards two nonprofit organizations an explainer video at no cost. Additionally, Next Day Animations was certified as a great workplace by the independent analysts at Great Place to Work® in December of 2018.
The process to become a B Corp was staff-led and a natural next step for the company which has long valued ethical business practices. Laura Grothaus, who served on the team's B Corp Certification Committee, says "Next Day Animations' culture is marked by unrelenting intentionality, a desire to tackle tricky conversations, and a firm belief in the power of fun. It's magic."
