In a chance encounter with Oliver Percovich (head of award-winning NGO Skateistan), our founder Charles-Antoine Bodson saw first hand how, with the right facilities and resources, young people in some of the world’s most disadvantaged countries could be empowered to pursue a better future.

Charles’ experience with Skateistan became the seed for a new model of social entrepreneurship that would unite artists, art buyers, museums, brands and non-profits around the world.

We have been practicing engaged consumption and responsible product manufacturing from day one. Becoming a certified B Corp was not a question, but the logical next step in our evolution.

Certified B Corps are distinguishing themselves in a cluttered marketplace by offering a positive vision of a better way to do business. We were born to be a B Corp. In 2019, we achieved that goal.

In 2020, we hit our first milestone: one million USD in funding for social impact projects. We are proud of that number. But in true B Corp style, this was only the beginning.

THE SKATEROOM is 10 years old — and we’re proud to have reached $1,650.000 in funding for social change so far.
