Expovorm International Achieves B Corp™ Certification
Expovorm, an internationally operating stand construction company centered in Europe, based in the Netherlands, is proud to announce its B Corp™ certification. This milestone confirms that Expovorm is part of a global movement of companies that place people, society, and the environment at the heart of their business, alongside profitability.
What is a B Corporation®?
B Corps collectively strive to transform the economic system into an inclusive, fair, and regenerative economy. To become certified, companies must demonstrate significant positive impact across five key areas: governance, workers, community, environment, and customers.
Expovorm: Sustainability at Its Core
In an industry often challenged by tight deadlines, temporary materials, and intensive logistics, Expovorm has always prioritized sustainability and inclusivity. Since its founding in 1987, these values have been deeply embedded in the company’s DNA. The second generation, Pauline Hilbrink and Gerwin Altena, continue to strengthen these principles throughout the organization.
Pauline Hilbrink, CEO Expovorm International:
“The certification process was intensive and thorough, but it inspired us to set clear goals in all five focus areas and further improve our impact.”
Certification Process
B Corp certification requires companies to meet strict criteria for social and environmental performance. The scores are public and reviewed every three years. Additionally, companies must legally commit to considering the impact of their decisions on all stakeholders.
Ambitious Goals for the Future
For Expovorm, becoming a B Corp is not an end goal but a milestone in a continuous journey towards sustainability, circularity, and social impact. Key ambitions include:
100% circular stand construction
CO₂-neutral production and logistics
Fair, transparent supply chain
Happy clients and staff
Transparant reporting
Gerwin Altena, CEO Expovorm International:
“We’re proud to join a global movement of companies using business as a force for good. Ready to raise the bar together? Let’s inspire each other to build a more sustainable event industry.”
