CERTIFICATES & AWARDS

Certificates are more than just a piece of paper – they are our commitment and dedication in tangible form. Discover the values they reflect:

CERTIFIED B CORPORATION™

B Corp stands for "Benefit Corporation" and describes a global movement of companies committed to an inclusive, equitable, and sustainable economy. The B Corp certificate is awarded by the globally active non-profit organization B Lab™ to companies that demonstrably integrate social and environmental responsibility into their business practices. Since its founding in 2006 in the USA, there are now over 6,000 certified B Corporations™ from 153 industries in more than 80 countries, including Patagonia, Ecover, and Ben & Jerry's.

We want to continually evolve and demonstrate that profitability and positive impact are not mutually exclusive. It is important to us that our business practices align with our values, and we strive to act transparently, ethically, and responsibly. We are committed to fair working conditions throughout our supply chain and make every effort to minimize our environmental footprint. By continuously improving our processes and collaborating with other companies, we aim to create a more sustainable and equitable future for all.

As part of the comprehensive B Impact Assessment™, we submitted transparent evidence and statements on around 200 questions across five topic areas: governance, employees, community engagement, environment, and customers. With success: after a two-year process, we achieved B Corp certification, proving the impact we have made so far. You can find our results here.

The next certification process is due in three years. Until then, we want to keep working on ourselves, support the B Corp mission with full enthusiasm, and drive positive change together with the B Corp community toward a more responsible future for business.

What does Ocean Bound Plastic mean?

The standard developed by Zero Plastic Oceans addresses the issue where the danger to our oceans is greatest: it ensures that plastic is collected in regions without waste infrastructure before it can reach the oceans – under fair, strictly controlled conditions. The OBP seal verifies complete traceability as well as compliance with social standards such as fair wages and safe working conditions throughout the entire supply chain.

Since November 2025, we as GOT BAG GmbH have held the OBP Scope Certificate. It is independent proof of our transparent working methods and confirms that our internal processes meet the highest traceability requirements. While the primary material of our PET and nylon products is already made from recycled Ocean Bound Plastic, we have now laid the groundwork to certify this on the product itself in the future. Important: Only products that carry the OBP seal and the corresponding label are officially certified.

GRS – GLOBAL RECYCLED STANDARD

We as GOT BAG GmbH are certified according to the Global Recycling Standard (GRS) by Control Union Certifications CB-CUC-1298685. Only products that carry the GRS seal and the corresponding label are certified. The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) verifies recycled material and traces it from the source to the finished product.
