It was hard work, but absolutely worth it
Having been through the accreditation process, we know that securing B Corp status is no easy feat. It’s a test of a company’s commitment to sustainable practices and ethical principles. It challenges you to scrutinise every aspect of your strategy, bringing additional clarity and meaning to your mission. While the process is no walk in the park, we think the rewards are well worth the effort.
At the heart of everything we do
For Flotilla, becoming a B Corp was a must. As a carbon accounting and net zero consultancy, B Corp’s key principles underpin our own purpose and values. Firstly, it demonstrates a commitment to making a tangible and positive social and environmental impact and it signifies that our commitment goes beyond words and is backed by concrete actions.
Becoming a B Corp-certified company means the world to us. It embodies our commitment to doing business for the greater good whilst holding us accountable. It serves as a representation of our support for our employees and the wider community.
More than a badge of honour
B Corp also provides third-party verification of company performance, reinforcing credibility and authenticity. This is particularly valuable when building relationships with clients, investors, and stakeholders who value responsible business practices.
Employee engagement is another crucial aspect of being a B Corp. Increasingly, many employees are looking to work for purpose-driven organisations that reflect their personal values. Having B Corp status can help businesses attract and retain talented professionals who are passionate about ESG. It also creates a positive work culture that resonates with team members, contributing to job satisfaction and overall engagement.
It opens up opportunities to tap into a global network of like-minded business leaders, which may open doors to collaboration, knowledge sharing, and partnerships. By connecting with other B Corps and sustainability-focused organisations, companies can gain invaluable insights and discover innovative solutions to common challenges.
