We earned the Butterfly Mark!

In a world where conscious consumerism is gaining ground, people are increasingly looking for ways to support brands that align with their values. Positive Luxury Certification has emerged as a beacon of trust and commitment to sustainable and ethical business practices. But what exactly does it mean to be Positive Luxury Certified, and how does this benefit both leverden and you, our customer? 

What is Positive Luxury Certification?

Positive Luxury Certification is a prestigious recognition granted to brands that uphold the highest standards of sustainability, ethics, and transparency in their operations. This certification is a seal of approval that highlights a brand's commitment to social and environmental responsibility, as well as its dedication to delivering quality products and services.

The Certification Process:

1. Application: The journey towards Positive Luxury Certification begins with a brand's application to the organization. The application includes a comprehensive assessment of the brand's practices, supply chain, and environmental footprint.

2. Evaluation: A team of experts rigorously evaluates the brand's commitment to sustainability, focusing on key areas such as materials sourcing, labor practices, and environmental impact. The assessment is thorough and covers all aspects of the business.

3. Auditing: Independent third-party auditors may be involved to ensure that the brand's claims are accurate and that they meet the stringent criteria set by Positive Luxury.

4. Commitment to Improvement: Brands are encouraged to make continuous improvements in their sustainability and ethical practices. Positive Luxury provides guidance and support to help brands make positive changes and reduce their environmental and social impact.

5. Certification: Once a brand successfully meets all the criteria and standards, it is awarded the Positive Luxury Certification, which allows it to use the Butterfly Mark – the symbol of trust and ethical commitment – on its products, website, and marketing materials.

What does it mean for leverden customers?
