The Fireclay Difference
As a Benefit Corporation, we’re evaluated on four main impact areas—environment, employees, community, and governance. Here’s what we’re doing to make a positive impact across all areas of our business.
ENVIRONMENT
Benefiting the Planet
Sustainability is in our DNA. On top of making our products to order, we offset 100% of our carbon footprint from our entire operation, including production and shipping. We’re also actively implementing waste diversion programs with the goal of being certified Zero Waste by 2023.
WORKERS
Benefiting Our People
We are nothing without our Makers. By increasing our starting wage to $17/hr, substantially subsidizing medical insurance and health expenses, providing equity ownership and 401K matching, offering 0% interest loans, and more, we’re committed to investing in our people.
COMMUNITY
Benefiting Our Community
We can only thrive if our community thrives. Pledging 1% of Fireclay Tile’s equity and product to non-profits, funding extracurricular pursuits for our team members’ families, donating to our local public school, and giving every employee a paid volunteer day are just some of the ways we build shared prosperity for all.
GOVERNANCE
Benefiting by Governance
Corporate governance impacts everyone. By sharing monthly and quarterly financials with all employees and investors, providing company-wide bonus opportunities, and pursuing gender parity in the workplace, Fireclay Tile embodies business as a force for good.
By balancing profit with purpose, we seek to achieve higher standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
Our B Impact Score
We score big, for the better. With a B Impact Score of 115.4, Fireclay Tile ranks among the top 10% of businesses committed to creating a more sustainable and equitable planet for all.
Benefit Corporation & Stakeholder Philosophy
As a legal Benefit Corporation and Certified B Corp, we consider our clients, teammates, community, environment, and our partners in every decision that we make. But don’t just take our word for it, know that we certify ourselves against 3rd party standards and publicly share our impact in each of these areas. Our stakeholder-centric ethos is one of the reasons we’re excited and proud to come to work each day.
