World’s only B Corp™ certified glove and clothing supplier, Eagle Protect, releases 2020 Impact report, highlighting
their environmental and social impact and performance.
Eagle Protect™ is the world’s only B Corp™ certified glove and clothing supplier. Eagle is on a mission to change the
food industry one glove at a time, through ethical sourcing, environmental impact reduction, and its proprietary
Fingerprint Glove Analysis testing to improve glove food safety.
Eagle does not simply sell gloves and clothing, improving their customers’ food safety and environmental impact is at
the forefront of Eagle’s business goals. Expertise on correct product selection and use, together with providing
improved quality of products, has saved over 335,103 kgs of glove and packaging waste, reduced 43 MT tons of CO2 and
over 6,146,127 litres of water during 2020.
“During 2020, Eagle has saved over 335,103 kg of waste and 6,146,127 litres of water”
Eagle Protect’s 2020 Impact Report highlights the company’s environmental, social impact and performance. Disposable gloves and clothing are mandatory in
the medical, food and industrial industries, and the various ways of manufacturing and sourcing these products affect
their impact, and food safety.
The initiation of Eagle’s Fingerprint testing across its Aotearoa New Zealand & USA businesses, is further testament ensuring Eagle is supplying the cleanest, safest, and best quality gloves,
mitigating chemical and microbial glove hazard contaminants. A recent product recall due to a toxic chemical found in gloves is one such example of the issues of cheap gloves with poor manufacturing quality control procedures in
place.
Eagle’s B Corporation® certification is unique to the PPE supply industry and ensures against sourcing from suppliers
found guilty of labour rights violations and selling reject and fraudulent products. These quality and labour violations are not uncommon in the glove manufacturing industries and have been further highlighted due to the recent COVID
related PPE supply and demand deficit.
