What is B Corp Certification?
Real Thread is proudly a certified B Corp, joining a global movement of companies, such as Patagonia, Aesop, Ben & Jerry’s, Nisolo, and others, that are committed to using business as a force for good. B Corp certification is only awarded to companies that meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
B Corp Certification is awarded by the nonprofit B Lab and recognizes businesses that are not just focused on profit, but also on people and the planet. It's the highest standard for companies striving for both financial success and social impact.
And for us, it’s a way to show up better, for our customers, our team, and the world.
Why B Corp Certification Matters
At Real Thread, great custom apparel is just the beginning! Being B Corp certified means we’re building a business that puts people and the planet first, right alongside profit. It’s our way of staying accountable, transparent, and committed to doing good at every step.
Here's what B Corp Means for Real Thread and You:
1. Commitment to Sustainability
We’re here to make great shirts with less waste and more intention. B Corp certification keeps us pushing forward, from using sustainable custom apparel made with eco-conscious materials to minimizing waste. The goal? Products that feel good and do good for the planet.
2. Positive Impact on Society
As a B Corp company, we are held accountable for the way we treat our employees and support our local communities. Our commitment to fair wages, inclusivity, and community helps ensure that we don’t just do business — we do good business.
3. Radical Transparency
B Corp certification requires full transparency. That means you can trust us to uphold high standards in every part of our business. You can see how we measure up in areas like environmental practices, social responsibility, and ethical governance.

Our B Corp Journey
Earning our B Corp certification wasn’t easy, but it was absolutely worth it. Our team worked tirelessly to ensure every part of our business, from the materials we source to how we treat our employees, was ready to be measured against the rigorous B Impact Assessment (BIA).
It’s a demanding process that requires collaboration across every department, proving we live up to our values with full transparency. The bar is high and even though we met it, this isn’t the finish line. We’re committed to improving as standards evolve, and we’re excited to bring you along.
