Case Study: Fireclay Tile achieves stronger employee ownership and transparency with B Impact Assessment

Fireclay Tile - Customer Case Study

Fireclay Tile, a San Jose-based ceramic tile manufacturer led by CEO Eric Edelson, wanted to preserve its commitment to beautiful, California-made products using recycled materials while improving how it measured and communicated its social and environmental practices. Using the B Impact Assessment from B Impact Assessment, the company realized it was only scratching the surface of its strengths and opportunities.

With B Impact Assessment, Fireclay Tile gained a clearer view of its performance across governance, workers, community, and environment, prompting it to become more transparent about finances, offer ownership to staff, and expand training and growth opportunities. The company’s B Impact Score rose from 61 at baseline to 80, reflecting a measurable improvement in its overall impact.
