London, ON – McCabe Promotional is joining a community of organizations using business as a force for good having just earned the distinguished B Corp certification. They are the first promotional products distributor in Ontario to gain the designation and are one of only eight distributors in the world.
“We’re extremely proud to be a Certified B Corporation® and part of a movement that is proving companies can balance profit and purpose,” says company President Jamie McCabe. “With every action we take, we strive to be thoughtful and respectful of everyone who is impacted by our business. This approach extends to how we engage our employees and source products to how we treat the environment and give back to the community.”
Certified B Corporations are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance purpose and profit. Unlike traditional corporations, B Corps are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on all stakeholders: customers, employees, communities and the environment before their shareholders. There are now over 3,000 B Corp organizations globally.
A family business founded in London in 1981 and with offices across Ontario, McCabe is a promotional products distributor with an agency style approach which allows clients to achieve their marketing goals through the use of branded merchandise. “We don’t just put logos on products. We help brands tell their story” explains McCabe. The company has 50 employees and has created a culture which encourages team members to navigate their own career paths, be involved in their communities and to constantly learn.
“We first heard about the designation from a client and fellow B Corp,” explains Jamie McCabe of his interest in the certification. “The more we researched it, the more we realized that we had the attributes of a Certified
B Corporation. Consumers today are not only seeking out environmentally sustainable options, but they are also demanding companies conduct business in a more socially conscious and ethical manner. We strive to be at the forefront of the changing market and have even sourced a collection of sustainable products called the Impact Collection. With the collection, we hope to demonstrate that thoughtful marketing strategies are not only sustainable, but also a more impactful and engaging option for brands to tell their story.”
McCabe has worked diligently over the past 12 months to complete the rigorous assessment, which analyzes their commitment to team engagement, good governance, community involvement, customer stewardship and environmental sustainability. To maintain certification, B Corps are reassessed every 3 years.
McCabe is thrilled to be a recognized part of a community using business as a force for good. They look forward to improving their own corporate citizenship while advocating for change in their industry and inspiring others to do the same.
