Certified B Corporation

Through our effort of building sustainability into every area of the business, Ten Over became in 2017 the third Certified B Corporation in California and only the seventh design firm in the world to go through the certification process.

We joined a community of over 3,500 certified companies from 74 countries and 150 industries.

B Corporations are for-profit companies certified every two years to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.

We work actively to use business “as a force for good", and answer to our mission: leave the world better than we found it.

People. Planet.

Because we want to take a closer look at the sustainability of both our practices and footprint, we are part of the California Green Business Network to create a vibrant green economy while conserving resources and making our communities healthier. We are also San Luis Obispo’s first business to be certified.

We have periodic office-wide sustainability awareness events such as plastic-free week challenge, bike to work month, and many more.
