Why we became a B Corp
Becoming a B Corp has made us take a long, hard look at everything we do, as well as learn from other purpose driven businesses around the world. We aspire to become one of Australia’s leading purpose driven businesses.
How certification works
B Corp Certification assesses a business’ overall positive impact . The assessment involves more than 300 questions related to all aspects of the company’s operations and the way in which it acts to have a positive impact. It’s validated by providing documentation and a series of interviews before a final score is provided.
Certified B Corporations must achieve a minimum verified score on the B Impact Assessment of more than 80 points—a rigorous assessment of a company’s impact on its workers, customers, community, and environment.
Companies need to recertify every three years.
The combination of third-party validation, public transparency, and legal accountability help Certified B Corps build trust and value. B Corp Certification is administered by the non-profit B Lab.
