Conventional wisdom dictates that businesses have to choose between making a positive impact and making money. B Corporations, however, are changing the narrative and proving that profit-making businesses can be a force for good.

UBQ is a Certified B Corporation

Certified B Corporations™ are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified environmental and social performance, legal accountability, and public transparency to balance purpose and profit.

In 2018, UBQ Materials became a certified B Corporation with an overall B Impact Assessment (BIA) score of 92.5. Since then, our score has risen to 108.8, which reflects years of hard work from team members across the company.

The median score for all businesses that complete the assessment is 55. Certification requires at least 80 points.

United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, also known as SDGs, are 17 interlinked goals designed to be a “shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet”. The SDGs make it clear that we need to think globally and act locally. 

 

At UBQ Materials, the SDGs have been a roadmap to developing our own internal sustainability goals and understanding how we can be a positive force and help improve life around the world. As a certified B Corp and a UN Global Compact signatory (UNGC), UBQ Materials is actively supporting and contributing to many SDGs, with a particular focus on the following:

UBQ TAKES ACTION TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE

by reducing total greenhouse gas emissions. UBQ prevents methane (from landfills) and carbon dioxide (from incinerators and oil production) from being released into the atmosphere.

UBQ CONTRIBUTES TO MORE SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION PATTERNS

by decreasing demand for raw materials and increasing the amount of material recycled. UBQ is a recycler of last resort, capturing waste that is difficult to recycle and converting it to a novel material that can replace virgin plastics.

UBQ SUPPORTS SAFE, SUSTAINABLE CITIES

by improving waste management and increasing the supply of resource-efficient building materials. UBQ turns hard-to-manage waste into building materials such as pipes, bricks, and flooring.

UBQ PROMOTES SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRY AND INNOVATION

by providing added manufacturing value with low emissions. UBQ™ is a versatile, cost-competitive alternative to common oil-based raw materials.

UBQ STRENGTHENS INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

by sharing knowledge and engaging in thought leadership. UBQ participates in international conferences, exchanges ideas with many environmental organizations, and builds coalitions for more aggressive climate and waste policies.
