Shaping Our Future
We are officially B Corp certified.
Becoming a B Corp
In 2022 we were over the moon to be given our B Corp certification, qualifying with a score of 97.3.
B Corp is a global certification that assesses a business based on their environmental and social performance. We began the process as we wanted to make a commitment to balancing profit with people and the planet. As a company we already had a lot of great values but gaining our B Corp certification pushed us to reach the highest standards of environmental and social impact. To find out more visit the website.
The journey to becoming a B corp was the perfect opportunity to focus the whole company on how to use business as a force for good. To find out more about our impact, check out our 2023 Impact Report.
What makes a B Corp company
As part of the B Impact Assessment we were assessed in the following areas.
Goverance - The strength of a companies overall mission, ethics and transparency
Workers - Contribution to employees’ financial security, health & safety, wellness, career development, and engagement & satisfaction.

Environment - The impact on the air, climate, water, land, and biodiversity.
Customers - the quality of its products and services, ethical marketing, data privacy and security.
"Our planet is our future and as a part of the B Corp movement, we feel sustainable business is not a choice but an obligation. We are very proud to be on this journey and we thank you for joining us."
