We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded Brightstar verification for the second straight year. BrightStar, developed by Lunum, is an internationally recognized verification system. BrightStar Verified organizations go above and beyond taking real action to create shared, long-term prosperity for the people and communities impacted by the company and its suppliers.
We achieved BrightStar Verification for implementing practical and measurable strategies and solutions in areas including wage quality, representation, inclusion, job creation, and well-being. BrightStar verified organizations operate more sustainably and give the people inside them a healthier, better place to work.
Some of CartonCraft’s community impact efforts include:
- High employee retention by providing a living wage and competitive pay, quality benefits, and development opportunities.
- Providing employee care benefits, like student loan assistance, an onsite linguist, and a fitness gym.
- Supporting local businesses and charities both financially and through service—CartonCraft donated $600,000 to local initiatives like Lazarus House, Ronald McDonald House Charities, and Dupage Care Center.
- Using and promoting sustainable materials whenever possible.
“CartonCraft’s BrightStar verification demonstrates tremendous leadership,” said Jill Miller, Founder and CEO, Lunum. “BrightStar was created to make the world a better place and change the way we view individuals and communities within the framework of business. By measuring, monitoring and improving the employment impact of individual organizations on their people and communities, CartonCraft is a prime example of how brands and their supply chain can create a diverse, equitable and inclusive World.”
Brightstar verification is not a one-time achievement, but rather an ongoing commitment. Companies are re-verified annually to ensure they are living up to the verification standards.
We are proud of the work we have done to hold this Brightstar verification for two years, and we will continue our efforts.
