Our client, Cuento de Luz, has become the first European publisher, and third in the world, to receive this certification for social and environmental work.
The prestigious certification is awarded to companies which use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems and meet higher standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
Only 1498 companies from 42 countries have been certified around the world. The strict certification process is focused on analyzing five essential points: transparency, workforce, consumers, community and environment.
Cuento de Luz’s score was 60% higher than the required threshold.
“We are very proud of becoming part of the B Corp movement,” said Ana Eulate, Founder and CEO of Cuento de Luz. “We have since the beginning of Cuento de Luz in 2010 worked with very much the same ethos and objectives as defined for Certified B Corps.”
Social engagement is a fundamental part of the Cuento de Luz’s DNA. With a strong emphasis on promoting universal values such as respecting differences, promoting peace, and respecting the environment, Cuento de Luz has supported a number of small non-profit organizations around the world.
In some cases a title has been translated to the local language (e.g. Swahili, Dari) where these organizations are operating, and Cuento de Luz has donated a printed version to be distributed in those countries.
Almost all titles aim to contribute in disseminating values that help to make the world a better place.
We are proud to be a part of the Cuento de Luz’s team and manage their promotions in the United States.
