We are very proud to have been certified by B-Corp. Internally, we have always known that we are a very responsible company, caring for both the environment and for people. But in today’s world of serious greenwashing, we need external endorsement to back up our claims, which until now we have never had. B-Corp (“because there is no planet B”!) seemed the best option, with its focus on turning business into a force for good. It was a rigorous process: it wasn’t enough to just say we have done something, we had to assemble and show mountains of data to prove it.
And we did, with flying colours, getting a very high score for a first-time company. All credit to Josh Lynch for his very thorough and patient application to the job. But it doesn’t end here—now we have to make a plan for how we are going to improve the company and our score for next time!
