B CORP
A commitment to people, community, and planet
We are proud to announce that North Point Distillery has officially become a Certified B Corporation (B Corp) — joining a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
Verified by B Lab, the non-profit behind the B Corp movement, this certification recognises our commitment to using business as a force for good. It reflects the way we operate across every part of our business — from governance and environmental impact, to our role in the local community and the wellbeing of our team.
Why Becoming a B Corp Matters
The B Corp Certification process is rigorous. It measures a company’s entire social and environmental impact, looking at:
-
Governance – transparency, ethics, and accountability.
-
Workers – fair treatment, wellbeing, and professional development.
-
Community – positive local impact and supply chain responsibility.
-
Environment – sustainability, resource efficiency, and carbon footprint.
-
Customers – ethical marketing, quality, and service.
Our journey to certification involved proving that we not only meet, but exceed the benchmarks set by B Lab.
This includes:
-
Using sustainable and reusable materials wherever possible.
-
Investing in energy-efficient plant, equipment, and processes.
-
Supporting our local Caithness community.
-
Embedding our commitment to purpose as well as profit in our company articles.

As our co-founder Struan Mackie puts it:
“Becoming a B Corp is a massive milestone for our business and testament to everything the company has done to do well by our people, do well by our community and do well by the environment.”
