Introduction

As a company, it’s been our mission to achieve good for the planet and our people since our early days, but this is the first time capturing this in one place. What we have done, and continue to do, for the planet, for nature, and for communities, belies our name ‘Little Soap Company’. We’ve already made a big impact and we have even bigger ambitions.

We achieved B Corp accreditation in November 2020, and stands as one of our proudest moments for the brand. It recognised how engrained our purpose and values are in our brands, and the impact we’ve made in our industry.

Welcome to our first ever Impact Report!
