Fluitec Becomes World's First Industrial Lubricant Company to Achieve B Corp Certification

DORDRECHT, Netherlands, March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Fluitec (https://www.fluitec.com/) is the first industrial lubricant company in the world to become B certified, joining over 3,800 certified B Corporations in 150 different industries.

B Lab is a nonprofit organization that certifies B Corporations, in the way USGBC certifies LEED buildings. The B stands for "benefit" and refers to benefiting workers, the community and the environment.

Fluitec is purpose-driven with a goal to reduce the environmental impact of industrial companies' operations through innovative lubricant technology. Fluitec's mantra, Fill4Life, is the concept of extending the life of industrial lubricants and increasing equipment efficiency, which directly and indirectly leads to a reduction of CO2 emissions and industrial waste.

"You can imagine with customers in all sectors of Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Industrial Gases, Mining, Marine etc. there's great cause to try to minimize environmental impact. As a supplier to these industries in addition to increased reliability and cost savings, we bring measurable sustainability benefits. It is fantastic to see organizations elevate sustainability and the environment as a requirement or KPI in their purchasing decisions," says Fluitec CEO, Pierre Vanderkelen.

"Our products have received sustainability recognition and validation in late 2019 from Solar Impulse's 1000Solutions Award. Receiving B Corp Certification further validates that not only are we delivering value to our customers, and the environment, we are also achieving value for our employees, our communities, and our shareholders," Vanderkelen continues.

To qualify as a B Corp, a company must have an explicit social or environmental mission and a binding fiduciary responsibility to take into account the interests of workers, the community and the environment as well as its shareholders.

"Being the first lubricant company to achieve this high standard sends a message that this level of responsibility can be achieved no matter what industry you're in," says Vanderkelen
