Our commitment

To measure + adapt

We commit to consistently measure our impact as a business, adjusting and improving where possible. We will continue to publish a yearly impact report containing a comprehensive summary of our progress, and set new goals for the subsequent year.

To question + scrutinise

B Corp isn't without its critics and we recognise the limitations of any standardised assessment. We will commit to going above and beyond B Corp's requirements where possible, to scrutinise our actions and motivations, as well as those of our fellow businesses.

To deliver + inspire

We will continue to share our findings. Our purpose is not only to be a better business, but to inspire others to start their journey too. Whether it's publishing free resources of collaborative working practices, we commit to collective action.

To succeed + progress

What does success look like? For us, it's making a marked, quantifiable progression year on year. It's about running a company that people are proud to work for and with, and which does no unnecessary damage to the planet.
