In case you missed it, we are proudly a B Corp certified agency. Wow! Wait, what does this mean?
A B Corp, or “Benefit Corporation”, is a business that meets high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. Unlike traditional corporations with a primary focus on maximising shareholder value, B Corps like us balance profit with purpose, and we do this by considering the impact of our decisions on our workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment.
A huge part of being a Certified B Corporation is accountability, and one way that we can demonstrate our actions is with an Impact Report. Typically, an impact report will look at how an organisation satisfies the five pillars above and communicate tangible results, such as carbon reduction, volunteering hours, gender pay gaps and so on.
Think of an impact report like a school report for your business, but rather than a focus on English, maths and science, it’s all about the people, planet and proactivity. (There is probably a bit of math and science in there, too.)
We released our first Impact Report for 2023, which looks at last year’s progress towards being a more sustainable agency. Here are just a few highlights:
🌳 Making a difference with reforestation and wildlife projects
♻️ Reducing our energy, water and waste usage at our Surrey HQ
💚 Supporting The Meath Epilepsy Charity and victims of conflict
🚛 Using local businesses for over 60% of our business supplies
✅ Setting milestones to measure against in 2024 and beyond
You can read more about our journey to being a better business for people and planet in our full impact report. We’ve also included a foreword from our founder, Tina, and a closing summary from Clare, our Commercial Director.
We hope it inspires you, and shows you that together, we can truly make a difference.
