Small Steps, Big Impact: How SAPINCA Champions Sustainability for B-Corp Month
March is B-Corp Month, a time to celebrate businesses that prioritise people, planet, and purpose over profit. At SAPINCA, we’re proud to be a certified B-Corp, committed to sustainability and ethical business practices. This month, we want to share how small, everyday choices can collectively create a huge impact. Sustainability isn’t about perfection, it’s about progress. Here’s how you can make a difference with simple, meaningful changes.
Why Do Small Changes Matter?
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the scale of environmental challenges today. Climate change, pollution, and deforestation can make individual efforts seem insignificant. But here’s the truth: every small step adds up. When millions of people make small changes, the combined effect can drive substantial progress toward global sustainability goals.
Think of sustainability as a ripple effect. What starts with one person choosing to ditch single-use plastics can inspire others to rethink their habits. By making conscious decisions, you’re part of a larger movement towards a more eco-friendly future.
5 Easy Sustainability Hacks You Can Start Today
Here are some simple, everyday changes that can help you live a more sustainable life:
1. Swap Single-Use Items for Reusables
Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental issues. A straightforward way to reduce waste is to replace single-use plastics with reusable alternatives:
- Carry a reusable water bottle instead of buying plastic ones. (Check out our B-Corp friends from Haarlem https://www.dopper.com/)
- Use a canvas bag for shopping. (Check out our B-Corp friends from Brussels https://merchery.co/)
- Get yourself a fancy to go coffee cup metal or bamboo alternatives. (Head over to our B-Corp friends from Amsterdam at bhttps://bocca.nl/nl/)
2. Eat More Plant-Based Meals
You don’t need to go fully vegan to make a difference. Reducing meat consumption by even a few meals a week can significantly cut down your carbon footprint. Incorporate plant-based meals rich in vegetables, legumes, and grains into your diet to support both your health and the environment. Or what about Plant-Based Chocolate from our B-Corp friends at Hands Off https://www.hands-off.com/
3. Cut Down on Food Waste
Did you know that one-third of all food produced globally goes to waste? You can help reduce this by:
- Planning meals ahead of time.
- Storing food properly to extend freshness.
- Getting creative with leftovers. Make soups, stir-fries, or smoothies.
4. Conserve Water
Small changes in your water usage can lead to big savings:
- Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth.
- Fix leaks promptly.
- Install water-saving fixtures in your home.
5. Support Sustainable Brands
Where you spend your money matters. By supporting brands that prioritise sustainability, you’re encouraging ethical business practices. Look for companies with certifications like B-Corp (like SAPINCA), Fair Trade, or Certified Organic.
How SAPINCA Is Leading the Way in Sustainability During B-Corp Month
At SAPINCA, sustainability isn’t just a checkbox, it’s embedded into every aspect of what we do. From sourcing ingredients to packaging, we’re committed to minimising our environmental impact and promoting ethical practices.
1. Thoughtful Ingredient Sourcing
We carefully source our ingredients from suppliers who share our commitment to ethical and sustainable farming practices. Our focus is on:
- Partnering with local farmers where possible.

2. Eco-Friendly Packaging
Packaging waste is a significant environmental issue. That’s why we’re continuously innovating our packaging solutions:
- Recyclable materials: Our packaging is designed to be as eco-friendly as possible.
- Minimal waste: We focus on using only what’s necessary, reducing excess packaging while ensuring product safety.
3. Carbon Footprint Reduction
We’re taking steps toward reducing our carbon footprint through:

4. Supporting Community Initiatives
Beyond the products we create, we’re dedicated to giving back through our charity - The Children’s Nutrition and Clean Water Program together with Misión Huascarán. We are now supporting 10 schools and 750 children. It's a good start, but there is so much more work to be done. Our goal is to support 10,000 children in the upcoming five years.
