Our Path to BCorp Certification is underway
24/07/2023
Our collective actions have the power to make a meaningful and positive impact on the lives of our employees, the wider community, and the environment. Therefore, we are committed to obtaining Certified B Corporation status in order to achieve our goals.
- Justin Smith, Finance Director
Our current focus revolves around the following key areas:
Cultivating a better workplace environment: We are committed to treating our staff well and creating an exceptional work experience.
Amplifying community impact: We are actively engaged in charitable initiatives with our elected charity of the year, Providence Row and are building a strong relationship with Ada College.
Minimising environmental footprint: We have reduced our carbon emissions by relocating to our new, greener office in Aldgate. Our new office space is smaller and more energy efficient allowing our teams to rotate their presence, working from the office once a week and adopting hot-desking practices.
This approach results in:
Reduced energy consumption
Decreased travel requirements
Transitioning to local suppliers
Utilising eco-friendly office supplies
Throughout this process, we have involved passionate employees from various departments, who have taken on this important work alongside their regular responsibilities.
For more information, please visit the BCorp website and stay tuned for further updates on our certification journey.
