This certification reflects our commitment to upholding rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability in our daily operations. We are honoured to be acknowledged for our efforts.
B Corp, derived from ‘Benefit Corporation’, signifies our pledge to make a meaningful impact on our employees, clients, the community, and our organisational governance. Since our establishment in 2016, we have remained steadfast in our dedication to purpose-driven growth. Our vision – to help shape the future for organisations, people, and the planet – is further validated by achieving B Corp certification, underscoring our commitment to action.
Joining the ranks of over 850 certified B Corps in Australia and 8000 globally, we emphasise the values of transparency, accountability, inclusion, equity, and positive impact. Our certification signifies not just a milestone, but a continuous journey toward greater societal and environmental responsibility. And one that places people and planet ahead of profits.
I am incredibly proud of our achievement of being recognised as a certified B Corporation. This prestigious recognition not only demonstrates our commitment to social and environmental responsibility but also validates the hard work and dedication of our team. It’s a testament to our shared values and the positive impact we strive to create in the world.
Stephen Mabbs, Chief Executive Officer
Our B Corp certification is a journey, not a destination.
The comprehensive assessment across five impact areas: people, customers, community, environment, and governance was completed over a 2 year period and we are thrilled to announce our overall impact score of 90.1, surpassing the required standard with an impressive ten-point margin.
As we celebrate this achievement, we recognise that our work is ongoing. Recertification every three years highlights our commitment to ongoing improvement and sustainable progress.
We invite you to explore our impact results as we continue to evolve our organisation for sustained positive change.
