Mills Basics - Customer Case Study

Mills Basics, a family-owned office supplies wholesaler/retailer in Vancouver, Canada, wanted to reduce its environmental footprint while continuing to support local employees and the community. The company turned to the B Impact Assessment to better understand where to focus its sustainability efforts, especially across delivery operations, supply chain emissions, and warehouse efficiency.

With guidance from the B Impact Assessment, Mills Basics prioritized the most important practices, shifted toward a more localized supply chain, and found a better-performing local supplier with stronger environmental attributes. As a result, the company reported more mindful operations and a stronger sustainability profile, with a B Impact Score of 83, above the average of 80 for similar businesses.
