“Day-to-day, we consciously consider the wider impact that our decisions have on our people, our community and our planet and certifying as a B Corp™ recognises and celebrates what we’ve been working so hard to achieve.
“It’s a symbol of the type of workforce we want to be, and we hope to inspire others to ensure their business brings benefits to all. It means that we can partner with like-minded clients and attract like-minded talent, working together to drive meaningful impact.
“Achieving this certification does not mean that we will rest on our laurels – we will regularly review and evolve the way we work to address and respond to the critical challenges our society is facing.”
The agency’s performance, which has been measured against B Lab’s standards, is publicly available on its B Corp profile on B Lab’s website.
