We’re a Certified B Corporation
We believe that B Corps are the future of business and feel incredibly proud to be a part of a global community of businesses who meet high standards of social and environmental impact.
If you’re not aware of B Corp yet, it’s a growing movement of people all committed to using business as a force for good, balancing people, planet and profit. By June 2023 (when we certified!) there were 1800+ B Corps in the UK and 6700+ globally. To become a Certified B Corp, you need to complete a B Impact Assessment (BIA), a digital tool that can help measure, manage, and improve positive impact performance across your business.
Every B Corp is scored using five impact areas of the B Impact Assessment (BIA), Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers. A minimum of 80 points is required to certify and we scored 100.6. You can see the full breakdown of our scores for each category here.
Our overall B Impact Assessment Score
As a B Corp in the communications industry, we’re counted alongside businesses that are leading a global movement for a more inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy. This means the world to us (literally!), to know we’ve made an ongoing commitment to be a better business, prioritising people and the planet alongside profit.
Going forward, we have a commitment to report our impact every year and will go through re-certification every three years.
