?? We are proud and delighted to announce our successful B Corp? recertification! This builds on our initial certification three years ago and allows us to stay with over 9,000 enterprises globally that believe business should be a force for good. ??
Being a Certified B Corporation? means that organisations have to evidence and demonstrate their systems align to the qualifying standards but even more so, a commitment and accountability for operating with the highest standards of social and environmental responsibilities and impact. It is a rigorous process and rightly so, one which we've always been dedicated to being measured against.
The B Corp process addresses five essential areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers. With each recertification, companies must demonstrate their commitment through rigorous standards and a minimum score of 80 points, proving responsible practices in areas such as sustainable resource use, fair worker compensation, inclusive and transparent governance, and environmental stewardship. With a score of 112.6, we’re proud to have raised the bar even higher as we continue to improve, evolve and diversify.
Our journey with the B Corp movement began in 2021, and our original certification score of 99.7 was a proud milestone. This latest score reflects our ongoing drive to excel. This achievement also comes after a challenging year, where we encountered some obstacles yet stayed true to our mission for greater sustainability, transparency, and resilience.
This was also the year we developed our first spin-out, ARC. A Regenerative Culture., through which we’re supporting other organisations on their sustainability journeys. This initiative significantly contributed to our increased score, demonstrating our commitment to an impact-driven business model.
?? At People & Transformational HR Ltd, we have based our ways of being not on four simplified words that represent our values; but on eight principles. Prosperity over Profit, Justice and Belonging and Energy and Wellbeing being just three that symbolise our openness, devotion and intentionality. This recertification strengthens our pledge to embed purpose in every facet of our operations, staying true to our mission: better business for a better world. Our micro-enterprise stands alongside a global community of over 9,000 businesses, and in the UK alone, we’re one of over 2,000 companies, united with purposeful brands such as The Guardian, innocent drinks, Patagonia, Bambino Mio?, HappyPorch, Happy Ltd, Neo | Best for the World B Corp?, The People Experience Hub and many others.
A huge thanks to our team, our Visiting Transformers, Spiritual Investors, and all our partners and community for inspiring us to be our best and helping us work towards a sustainable, inclusive future for all. Here’s to another chapter in using business as a force for positive change!
