My little business is officially a CERTIFIED B CORPORATION®️ 🌱
When I set out on this journey two and a half years ago, I never dreamt that Rosa & Blue would have come so far. From my husband Rob sat sketching a brown bear on the kitchen table, to becoming part of an exclusive group made up of the world's most sustainable and ethical companies.
It’s been a long and thorough process which has included some important (but brilliant) changes to our business but we did it! We reached this incredible milestone and I can now say out loud that Rosa & Blue meets B Corp's® high standards of social and environmental performance 🏆
Thanks for your ongoing support, it really does mean the world

These 5 core areas are how we measure our success in using our business as "a force for good".
We were assessed on each Impact Pillar & awarded points based on our efforts. As of February 2024, there are 8,254 certified B Corporations® across 162 industries in 96 countries. Each of these business have been carefully assessed by B Lab® to ensure their suitability
We work closely with our suppliers & teams in Portugal (founder Pollyanna makes it a priority to travel there every 2-3 months)
We ensure all our suppliers hold the same ethical standards as we do. Workers are paid a fair wage & have a safe & clean work environment
Our very small team here in the UK are working mothers, where flexibility is at the forefront
Sustainability was at the top of our list when designing our signature fabric. Bamboo is a conscious plant to grow as it doesn't require polluting pesticides or fertiliser. It produces 35% more oxygen & absorbs 4 x more carbon than other trees & plants
All packaging is made from 100% recyclable materials & don’t include packing slips, to reduce wastage
Having our production in Europe means fewer air miles attributed to our products
Our product design ethos centers around longevity. From the classic designs & prints that will never go out of stye, to the quality craftsmanship, our sleepwear is intended to be cherished again & again. We champion slow fashion in an industry where there’s often a high product turnover
Our products are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 & 100% organic cotton products are GOTS certified. They also undergo extensive safety testing to ensure our customers have peace of mind
We are proud supporters of EVELINA LONDON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL. We donate £2.50 from the sale of every Pink Heart Print product to their cardiology department
We treat our social & environmental impact as a primary measure of success for our business & prioritise it even in cases where it may not drive profitability
We also have policies & practises in place within the company to promote ethical decision-making
