Turnstyle Designs Becomes First Hardware Manufacturer to Secure B Corp Status.

Turnstyle Designs, artisans of unique, handmade hardware, is proud to announce that it has become the first manufacturer in the sector globally to become B Corp certified*. 

Sustainability and community has always been entrenched in the DNA of the Devon-based business, and this is a significant milestone for a brand that aspires to lead and inspire other businesses to follow suit, and prioritise the future of the planet, together.

The process took into account their exemplary staff care and strict guidelines on material sourcing, product creation, packaging  and  waste,  and eco-friendly  facilities  - Turnstyle Designs is incredibly pleased to have secured a B Corp score of 99.1**.

Speaking on the achievement, managing director Oscar Roberts comments, “Becoming a B Corp is one of the most important achievements in our company’s history. Since first discussing certification in 2022 this has been firmly in our sights as a target for the business, stemming from a belief that putting people and the planet first is paramount. It was an incredibly rigorous process and shone a light on our successes, as well as the work that still needs to be undertaken.

The truth is we have operated in this way for several years, but being able to have it externally recognized by a leading organization like B Corp was an important step towards cementing these values into the company’s fabric. I take great pride in everyone at Turnstyle’s attitude towards being a responsible company.”
