In 2024, we marked a new milestone in our commitment by achieving B Corp certification to strengthen our culture of continuous improvement and reinforce the values we uphold as a Mission-Driven Company.

Recognized as one of the most rigorous international standards, B Corp certification is awarded to companies that combine profitability with high standards in social and environmental responsibility, governance, and public transparency.

By assessing all our practices across five key areas—Environment, Employees, Community, Customers, and Governance—B Corp certification demonstrates a comprehensive and tangible commitment.

It covers a wide range of aspects, from workplace wellbeing to carbon footprint reduction and responsible waste and energy management, aligning with the core technical foundations of our CSR strategy.

This holistic approach strengthens and showcases years of work, driven by the vision of our founder and CEO, Emma François-Grasset, her personal sensitivity, and the strong momentum she has created within the company.

Sessùn’s commitment to art and craftsmanship is central to our certification, where it is recognized as an Impactful Business Model. This means that B Corp values our company's voluntary engagement in generating a positive impact that goes beyond our traditional business activities.

Whether in our selection of suppliers for their expertise, the educational efforts to share our knowledge of materials, the design of our stores in harmony with local cultural heritage, our numerous collaborations with artisans and artists, or the initiatives we champion—such as the Sessùn Craft Prize and Flourishing Creativity —B Corp highlights the steps we take to promote know-how, art, and craftsmanship through our actions and artistic direction.

Also recognized are the efforts made around our collections, including our focus on the quality and timelessness of our products, as well as our transition to more responsible fibers—such as certified, organic, recycled materials, or those with enhanced durability—a shift we began several years ago.

As for our suppliers, it is all the initiatives we’ve undertaken to strengthen our relationships, create lasting partnerships, and better manage practices to reduce the impacts of production that are recognized.

For Sessùn, the framework and standards set by B Corp certification have enabled the implementation of various initiatives to structure and formalize actions already in place, and to monitor their impacts and outcomes more closely.

Due to its comprehensive approach covering all aspects of our company’s activities, B Corp certification highlights the years of dedication, effort, and structuring that have shaped the vision of a brand focused on a fairer and more sustainable future.

By taking this significant step forward, we renew our commitment and reaffirm that the journey matters more than the destination.
