Mr Marvis is the Largest Dutch Clothing Brand to Become a Certified B Corporation

We are very proud to announce that MR MARVIS is officially a Certified B Corporation (B Corp). As a B Corp, we are part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact.

Ever since the launch of our first pair of perfect shorts - back in 2016 - we have strived to make conscious decisions in every aspect of our business. From being an inclusive and considerate employer, to producing in Portugal using more sustainable materials. As a B Corp, MR MARVIS is now officially part of a community of businesses spearheading a global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. We join the ranks of thousands of like-minded businesses worldwide, including conscious brands Allbirds, Chloé, Patagonia, and Veja.

MR MARVIS has surpassed the required minimum score of 80 points to become a B Corp, achieving a notable score of 101.7 on the B Impact Assessment. The average score for B Corps in the Netherlands is 83.7 points, while non-B Corps typically score around 50 points. This achievement reflects our commitment to responsible business practices and a positive impact on society and the environment.

“After a two-year team effort, we are proud to call ourselves the largest Dutch clothing brand to become a B Corp. While we take pride in this achievement, it is one step in an ongoing journey. Becoming a B Corp is a testament that we are on the right path. We are very proud of this achievement and remain committed to further enhancing our positive impact on people & planet.” - David Sipkens, co-founder & CEO

“To achieve B Corp certification is a major milestone for MR MARVIS. We are happy to welcome them to our B Corp community and wish them well as they continue in their sustainability journey.” (Tessa van Soest, Executive Director B Lab Benelux)

All social and environmental efforts that contribute to our B Corp certification can be found in the first edition of our annual Action Report. This report gives a detailed insight into MR MARVIS’ social and environmental decisions and their impact. You can find the full report via the link below. However, to give you a brief summary, here are some highlights that have greatly contributed to our achievement of becoming a certified B Corporation:

  1. The use of environmentally preferred materials (organic, recycled, and recyclable), a permanent collection of timeless designs and no end-of-season sales.
  2. High standards for working conditions which are formalised through a Code of Conduct that was signed by all our production partners.
  3. Supporting charitable causes, both through monetary donations and team volunteering work.
  4. We are dedicated to reducing our carbon footprint and achieving net zero emissions by 2030. To reach this goal, we thoroughly assess all emissions related to our operations and offset 110% of unavoidable emissions.
  5. In 2022 we donated a total of almost €60,000 to charities. We doubled all donations made by employees, and our employees invested 174 hours of their time in volunteering projects.

Obtaining the B Corp certification represents a significant achievement in MR MARVIS’ mission to make people around the world feel marvellous. But we are not done yet. The certification offers a valuable framework, helping to implement further improvements in all aspects of our business. We will remain focused on improving our impact - until the recertification in 2026 and beyond.

  • The Buttonless Polo

    New: The Buttonless Polo

    Meet The Buttonless Polo – a new member of MR MARVIS' extended polo family. Playful, refined and versatile, it's perfect for moments that call for something effortless and elevated.

    The Buttonless Polo is a lightweight, short-sleeved polo that doesn't play by the rules. Sometimes less is more. That's why we decided not to add buttons this time, for a subtly eye-catching look. The light merino quality adds an elevated feel, making it the perfect option for more fancier events.

    This menswear staple can be worn with summer shorts like The Piqués, The Short Easies, The Short Classics and The Short Linens. You can also pair it with trousers like The Longs, The Five-pockets, The Classic Chinos and The Seersuckers. The Buttonless Polo is available in 8 marvellous colours: black blue Deeps, blue Mavericks, off white Coconuts, dark burgundy Reserves, beige Baristas, green Goodwoods, light blue Avenues and blue green Astons. Now available online and in MR MARVIS stores in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.

  • The Short Classics

    New: The Short Classics

    Meet The Short Classics: elevated summer shorts that exude laid-back elegance and add a certain je ne sais quoi to your summer outfit. Perfect for creating refined summer looks without sacrificing comfort, thanks to the slightly wider fit.

    The Short Classics are modelled after The Classic Chinos, which we introduced during the spring season of 2024. They feature a wider cut, front pleats and an extended waistband. They also have elasticated inserts for a comfortable fit, fold-up bottom hems and signature MR MARVIS details, such as the hidden zip pocket. The chino shorts are presented in organic cotton twill and lightweight denim with a softly faded look.

    This menswear staple can be worn with a polo, like our Classic Polo, for a polished high-summer look. On slightly cooler days, combine it with our new Midweight Crew. The Short Classics are available in MR MARVIS' most classic colourways: dark blue Cosmics, white Wimbledons, green Defenders and beige Gazettes, and our denim shades mid-blue Otis and light blue Charles. Now available online and in MR MARVIS stores in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
