We are proud to announce that in February 2023 we certified as a B Corp™.
We are excited to join a collective group of organisations working towards a common goal. While we recognise this is just the beginning of our journey, we see areas where we can improve. We remain committed to actively measuring and enhancing our performance across all areas as we work towards our next recertification in 2026.
What does B Corp™ mean?
Certified B corporations are companies verified by B Lab to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. The B Corp movement is a global movement of people using business as a force for good.
What happens next?
Together we are shifting our economic system from profiting only the few to benefiting all, from concentrating wealth and power to ensuring equity, from extraction to regeneration, and from prioritising individualism to embracing independence. Receiving B Corp status is not just about getting a certificate and sitting back to relax. It’s the start of an exciting chapter to make impactful plans for the next year and beyond to continue doing business better.
