Investment Tribe: Sustainable Finance as a B Corp Certified Organisation

Investment Tribe is all about doing business the right way. We’re proud to be recognised for our hard work in making a positive impact, earning us a BCorp certification in March 2022. This means we’re really serious about being transparent, responsible, and doing good in the world.

We scored a whopping 96.6 on the B Impact assessment, while most companies usually score around 50.9. We are proudly positioned in the ‘Service with Minor Environmental Footprint’ sector of B Corp certified companies.

Even cooler, in 2022, we were named one of the Best for the World? BCorps. That puts us in the top 5% of B Corps worldwide, out of 5,000! We’re super proud, but we’re not stopping there. We’re on a mission to do even better, in every way we can.

Let’s dive deeper into what being a B Corp certified organisation means for us at Tribe.?

B Corp Certification

What is a B Corp Certification??

Certified B Corporations, also known as B Corps, are businesses that have been validated by B Lab for upholding elevated standards of social and environmental responsibility, along with maintaining transparency and accountability in their operations.?

Our Commitment to Transparency and Accountability

Investment Tribe’s journey as a B Corp certified organisation is a testament to our unwavering commitment to transparency and accountability.?

We regularly undergo internal assessments to evaluate our impact on employees, potential customers, society, and the environment. By holding ourselves to the highest standards, we ensure that our operations contribute positively to the world, fostering trust and credibility among our stakeholders.

Fostering a Positive Work Environment

At the heart of every great company is its remarkable team, and at Investment Tribe, we firmly believe that the happiness and well-being of our employees comes first. We understand that when our team thrives, our company does too, creating a positive ripple effect that extends to our clients and the communities we serve.

We strive to go above and beyond to create a workplace where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered. From flexible working arrangements and the possibility to work hybrid to allowing our international employees to take some time to work from their home countries when visiting friends and family, Investment Tribe is dedicated to nurturing a positive and inclusive work environment.

We are proud to be a Living Wage Employer, guaranteeing that every member of our team earns a wage that truly reflects the cost of living, not just the government minimum. This commitment extends beyond our full-time employees to include our part-time staff and interns, ensuring that everyone who contributes to our success is fairly compensated.

Let us be very frank for a moment. We often shy away from clichés, but when it comes to describing our team at Investment Tribe, it’s hard not to admit – it really does feel like a family here. And while we might roll our eyes at the overuse (or misuse) of that phrase, it genuinely captures the fun, welcoming, and supportive environment we’ve cultivated.

It’s a place where laughter is shared, challenges are tackled together, and every member is valued and has a team of cheerleaders behind them – creating a workspace that’s not just productive, but also incredibly enjoyable.

Driving Social and Environmental Change

At Investment Tribe, we’re not just about making smart financial decisions; we’re also deeply committed to making a positive impact on our planet.?

We’ve transitioned to a completely paperless company, eliminating the need for physical documents and significantly reducing our environmental footprint.?

Our team is encouraged to adopt eco-friendly commuting options, with many choosing to cycle to work or use electric buses and trains. This not only contributes to cleaner air but also fosters a culture of health and mindfulness among our employees.

Inside our offices, you’ll find a green oasis with plenty of plants, creating a refreshing and vibrant atmosphere. We believe that a connection to nature enhances well-being and productivity, and our indoor garden (slowly turning into a mini-forest) is a testament to that philosophy.

On the rare occasion that paper does find its way to us, we ensure it doesn’t go to waste. All paper products are meticulously destroyed and repurposed for compost, contributing to a circular economy and minimising our waste.

Through these initiatives and more, we are steadfast in our commitment to driving social and environmental change, proving that a financial firm can be a powerful force for good in the world.

Building Community and Collaboration

We champion diversity, equity, and inclusion, ensuring our hiring practices and community engagements reflect these values.?

Our business model is intentionally designed to address community-oriented challenges, supporting fair trade and making investment accessible to a wider group of people.?
