Verified by B Lab, the not-for-profit behind the B Corp movement, the achievement demonstrates that Equip, and its brands Rab and Lowe Alpine, meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.

B Corp certification recognises how a business operates as a whole—across governance, workers, community, environment and customers—rather than focusing on a single product or initiative. For Equip, this milestone formalises a long‑standing approach to building and growing the business responsibly, without compromising on values in the pursuit of growth.

“Becoming a B Corp is a proud moment for us, it’s a recognition of a journey we’ve been on for a very long time,” says Richard Leedham, CEO of Equip Outdoor Technologies. “Our commitment to responsible manufacturing, safer chemistry, transparent and robust supply‑chain partnerships, and long‑term thinking has shaped our decisions for decades. This certification doesn’t change who we are—it confirms it.”

Equip’s work with B Corp™ is another example of the company's wider agenda to build on their heritage and grow their business the right way. As a Fair Wear leader brand, a bluesign System Partner and the business who launched Material Facts, this is another step towards their ambition to be recognised as a leader in ESG within the industry.

As part of the certification process, Equip underwent an independent assessment by B Lab and updated its Articles of Association to reflect a commitment to people, the planet and long‑term business resilience alongside profit.

By becoming a Certified B Corporation™, Equip Outdoor Technologies, Rab and Lowe Alpine now stand alongside a community of like‑minded businesses worldwide, working collectively to redefine what responsible business looks like—prioritising long‑term impact, collaboration and transparency.
