Impact on all fronts
Cathelijne Lania, founder and CEO of A Beautiful Story, says: “We are very proud. This is a very important recognition for us and the work we do. B Corp is an assessment of our impact on all fronts. It measures how well we are really doing.”
Impact manager, Eva de Bruin, adds: “We are often asked what our makers earn. A Beautiful Story is committed to a living wage plus. With a living wage plus you are not only surviving, but you can build a life. You can easily provide for all your basic needs, such as food, a roof over your head and medical care. Not only that, but you can also save for later and offer your children quality education.”
