Lick

We’re super excited to announce that Lick is officially B Corp™ certified! “We’re so proud to have achieved an epic score of 101.5 and be joining the movement dedicated to balancing purpose and profit. Ultimately, so that we can benefit both people and planet. What better way to celebrate than painting the B Corp logo in our office with leftover paint to remind us, and our amazing team, every day of how much we’ve achieved and the work that has gone into this milestone moment. We want to say a massive thank you to our community for coming on this journey with us! When people choose Lick as their partner in decorating, we can help them transform their home with respect to our collective home, planet earth. Thank you to Seismic for supporting us through our B Corp™ journey so far, we’re just getting started! We can’t wait to tell you more about our journey to this point, what it means to us, and how we achieved our score.” Lucas London (Co-Founder and CEO) & Sam Bradley (Co-Founder and CMO) #bcorp #bcorpcertified

Just 1 year on from joining the B&Q family we were thrilled to have won the Digital Partnership Award 2024 for our work building a digital brand and have the opportunity to support the B&Q Foundation on such a special evening to raise money for great causes alongside other brands at B&Q. Here's to the next year... ✨

Let’s chat Earth Day 🌎 and why this year we’re highlighting our sugarcane pulp paint tray! This year, Earth Day is highlighting Planet vs. Plastic, with the aim to push the phase-out of single-use plastics by 2040 and educate on more innovative and sustainable alternatives, like sugarcane pulp. As a B Corp-certified brand, we’ve got an ongoing commitment to reduce our impact on the planet, which includes minimising the use of plastics across everything we do - from our decorating tools to our product packaging and beyond. In 2022, through working with Nikki Buckley and Joel Buckley (who you might have spotted on Dragon’s Den), we introduced our (2x) award-winning, 0% plastic, sugarcane pulp paint trays into the LickTools, which we think are a game-changer for decorators and their projects. They have all the features of a traditional paint tray - and some - without the plastic! Holds paint ✔️ Re-usable ✔️ Durable ✔️ Biodegradable* ✔️ ✔️ Our hope is that more of these will result in fewer plastic paint trays (which often don’t get re-used, even with the best intentions) in our local skips. *fully biodegradable when used with a water-based paint like Lick.

This red has (unexpectedly) gone viral… And, of course, it had to be our Heinz Red HTK 57 🍅 https://lnkd.in/eTNwDDAc Credit to creator Grace (@grace_and_the_gang) for creating this epic content while she was decorating her hallway. Kraft Heinz

We’re sure you’ve heard the term “like watching paint dry”. It doesn’t inspire much excitement, does it? Well, we disagree... and we're challenging this myth on International Colour Day (today) by showing how NOT boring watching paint drying can be with an all-day social livestream of, you guessed it, paint drying. We'll be taking colour requests to so pop along and say hi 👋 on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and TikTok. https://lnkd.in/ej497CCP #InternationalColourDay #LickHome

Weekend visits to B&Q just got even better… That’s right! You can now find our peel-and-stick samples, paint and LickTools in the decorating aisles of B&Q stores across the UK and Ireland, from Inverness to Torquay. Being at the nation’s favourite DIY store is a huge step for Lick as we expand our presence and introduce our products to a wider audience. But of course, it had to be done the Lick way… Our mission from day one has been to support decorators and give everyone confidence in the colours they choose. That’s why we’ve taken it to the next level. Customers will now have access to personalised colour recommendations in-store via a first-of-its-kind interactive digital screen that’s a game-changer when it comes to shopping for paint. That means you will now be able to scroll through real-life inspiration, learn more about our products and get expert colour advice that is tailored to your needs. Designed by our Colour Expert, Tash, our colour quiz makes it much easier for decorators to find their perfect colours. We’re so excited to share this experience with you all and hopefully give more people the confidence to decorate in-store. See you there? #LickatBandQ

“What does the ‘B’ in B Corp stand for?” A question we always get asked when talking about being B Corp Certified, so, in celebration of B Corp Month, it makes sense to start at the B-eginning. Some guesses we’ve had before… “Brilliant”, “Blooming fantastic” and “Better”. Nice, but not quite. It’s actually much more important than any of these. B is for ‘BENEFIT for all’ - which is what we at Lick commit to doing by becoming B Corp Certified. How do we do that? Well, being B Corp informs everything we do; from how we make our products, to the way we value our team’s wellbeing, to how we treat our customers and community. From upholding rigorous eco-credentials for all our products to giving back as we grow through trusted partners like charity:water, being members of Sedex, the world’s leading ethical trade membership platform, and signing the Better Business Act to campaign for a cleaner, greener and fairer future for all. But our B Corp certification isn’t a destination, it’s the beginning of the journey. That’s why we are continually evolving our approach to doing business sustainably and ethically to help everyone transform their homes with respect to people, communities and the planet. We hope this was of some BENEFIT when it comes to learning about B Corp. As always, we’re here for any questions or if you just want to share some more of your favourite B Corp Certified brands in the comments. Let’s move forward, together. #bcorpmonth #bcorpcertified
