Union Binding Company Gets B Corp Certification

Ever wonder if your snowboard gear is good for the planet? Well, Union Binding Company, through its parent company Core SRL, just made a massive statement. They’ve officially become B Corp Certified!

B Corp Certified Explained

B Corp certification isn’t some participation trophy; it’s a deep dive into a company’s impact on workers, the local community, our environment, and customers. And Union? They absolutely crushed it with a score of 92.2 – way above the average. There aren’t too many brands in the outdoors that have pulled this off, Patagonia & Picture Organic Clothing are the only 2 that come to mind. 

This means when you strap into your Unions, you’re not just riding with some of the best bindings out there, you’re also backing a company committed to:

• Making Stuff That Last: Durable products mean less waste. Simple.

• Ethical Sourcing: Knowing where their materials come from and how they’re made matters.

• Good Vibes for Employees & Riders: A positive culture from the factory floor to the mountain.

• Giving Back: Driving change in snowboarding and the wider outdoor world.

Union Ain’t a Trend, They’re Industry Leaders, 20 Years Deep

But wait, there’s more! Core SRL also went a step further, becoming a Società Benefit. That’s an Italian legal status that basically says, “Yeah, we’re here to make awesome bindings, but we’re legally bound to make a positive impact on society and the environment too.” How cool is that?

In an industry built on passion and the places we ride, this isn’t just a certification; it’s a commitment to the future of snowboarding. So next time you’re hitting that kicker, give a little nod to Union – they’re not just building bindings, they’re helping build a better world to ride in.

Catch you on the slopes!
