March is B-Corp Month - a time to celebrate the growing movement of businesses that believe how a company contributes to the world matters just as much as its bottom line. It's a value we have held since the very beginning. Good Clean Love is proud to be among the very first 100 Benefit Corporations in Oregon, and that commitment has shaped everything we do ever since.
Our mission - to increase the experience and awareness of love in the world - has always been one that can be easily dismissed as lip service. But as time goes by, more people have begun to understand the importance of our message. Being a B-Corp is not simply a certification we hold. It is a standard we hold ourselves to, embedded in every product we create, every partnership we pursue, and every decision we make as a company.
We take pride in offering the most effective clean products on the market, but our ambitions extend beyond the products themselves. Every way we work in the world is guided by a dedication to making it more loving for our customers, our communities, and future generations.
In a moment when the state of the world can make simply reading the news feel like an act of courage, we find ourselves returning to the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.:
"When our days become dreary with low-hovering clouds of despair, and when our nights become darker than a thousand midnights, let us remember that there is a creative force in this universe working to pull down the gigantic mountains of evil, a power that is able to make a way out of no way and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows. Let us realize that the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."
B-Corp Month is an opportunity to recommit to that arc, and to the belief that business, at its best, can be a genuine force for good. That is what we strive to be at Good Clean Love, today and every day.
