FASHIONPHILE Announces B Corp Certification
The ultra-luxury reseller reinforces its commitment to social and environmental responsibility
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — FASHIONPHILE, the leading resale e-commerce platform in pre-owned, ultra-luxury accessories, is thrilled to announce its recognition as a Certified B Corporation (B Corp). This certification reflects the company’s ongoing efforts for social and environmental sustainability, transparency, and ethical business practices.
Since launching in 1999, FASHIONPHILE has long been committed to extending the life-cycle of the products they sell, making this more sustainable way to shop more accessible and otherwise reducing waste and promoting sustainability in the luxury fashion industry. FASHIONPHILE will continue its mission to uphold these values. Several initiatives made by the team to reinforce their social and environmental responsibility include enforcing in-house recycling programs, using low-density LPDE plastic, using recycled materials in all packaging, and moving to a hybrid work model to produce less waste. In September 2021, FASHIONPHILE implemented solar panels on the roof of its global headquarters generating over 140,000 kWh of electricity and is on track to produce well over 200,000 kWh before the end of 2023.
“We are honored to receive B Corp certification and to join a highly-selective community of like-minded businesses committed to creating positive environmental and social impact,” said Sarah Davis, Founder and President of FASHIONPHILE. “At FASHIONPHILE, circularity is a main pillar and our focus is to reduce, reuse, restore, refurbish, recycle and repair. While the FASHIONPHILE model is a circular one, obtaining the B Corp designation demands much more. This certification is a testament to our dedication and reinforces our mission to make fashion more sustainable.”
