We're buzzing to share some brilliant news: Scrummi has officially re-certified as a Certified B Corporation, scoring 103 points. That's a jump from our original 87.5 when we first certified back in September 2022, and honestly? We couldn't be prouder.
For us, B Corp isn't about ticking boxes or having something shiny to stick on our website. It's about being held accountable for the impact we make - on our team, our industry, and the planet we all share. Re-certifying means we're not just maintaining standards; we're actively pushing ourselves to do better.
What B Corp actually means (beyond the badge)
Let's be real – "certification" can sound pretty corporate and stuffy. But B Corp is different. It's an independent framework that looks at five key areas: governance, workers, community, environment and customers. Think of it as a proper MOT for your business values.
For Scrummi, it's been a game changer. It gives us structure, keeps us honest and helps us spot where we can improve. Every three years, we go through the whole process again, because staying certified means staying committed. Our 103-point score isn't just a number; it's proof that the changes we've made are actually working.
The real-world impact (aka why this matters to you)
Here's where it gets exciting. Based on our sales data and what we know about commercial laundering in the professional beauty industry, Scrummi helped deliver some pretty impressive results over the past year:
- Over 67,000 laundry cycles avoided – that's a lot of washing machines taking a well earned break
- Over 67 million litres of water saved – enough to fill about 27 Olympic swimming pools
- Over 112,000 staff hours saved – time your teams can spend doing what they do best
- Over 200,000 kWh of energy saved – powering progress, not tumble dryers
- Over £200,000 in estimated laundry costs avoided – money better spent elsewhere in your business
- Around 40 tonnes of CO₂ emissions avoided – a lighter footprint, every single day
These aren't just statistics. They're hours given back to hardworking teams, resources protected for the future, costs reduced for businesses like yours and a planet that's slightly better off.
Why the professional beauty industry should care
The beauty industry is built on making people feel good and that should extend beyond the salon chair. Our B Corp commitment means we're constantly raising the bar on what responsible business looks like, without ever compromising on the quality or service you've come to expect from Scrummi.
We're also incredibly proud to work alongside fellow B Corp brands in our industry. Partners like Blue Tit, Clarins, Elemis and comfort zone. Together, we're proving that putting people and planet first doesn't mean sacrificing excellence. If anything, it makes us better.
What's next for 2026
Re-certifying is brilliant, but it's not the finish line – it's more like a checkpoint that confirms we're heading in the right direction. As we move into 2026, here's what you can expect:
- More customer-centric incentives – because your feedback shapes what we do
- New product launches – we're always working on what's next
- Continued high levels of service and support – this will never change
- Opportunities to help shape Scrummi's future – through community initiatives and direct input
Thank you
None of this happens without you. Every Scrummi towel used in your salon, spa, or clinic is part of this bigger picture. You're not just reducing laundry – you're joining a movement towards a more sustainable, responsible beauty industry.
Here's to progress, and to a planet we're all proud to stand up for.
Note: Impact figures are based on Scrummi sales data and conservative industry averages for commercial laundering and handling. CO₂ savings are estimated.
