Skans, a pioneering eyewear brand known for its commitment to sustainability, is proud to announce that they are a Certified B Corporation, meaning that SKANS meet high standards of social and environmental impact.

“Becoming a certified B Corporation is a milestone for Skans. It’s a testament to our dedication to creating a positive impact through our business, and it’s a great tool to push ourselves to seek unwalked paths”.
Being a Certified B Corp indicates a legal obligation and commitment to use business as a force for good and to create benefit for all stakeholders; workers, communities, customers and our planet. Being a B Corp is about striving not only to be the best in the world but the best FOR the world.

“For us, it’s about ensuring we treat the planet with respect, make a positive impact in our community, and that we are responsible for each other and for future generations. We believe that we must be the change we desire to see in the world, so to pursue a B Corp certification was an obvious step to demonstrate our commitment to this belief,”
