B-Corp
We are delighted to support B Corp Certification, which is something we are working towards.
B Corp Certification is a designation that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials. In order to achieve certification, a company must:
- Demonstrate high social and environmental performance;
- Make a legal commitment by changing their corporate governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders, not just shareholders, and achieve benefit corporation status if available in their jurisdiction.
- Exhibit transparency by allowing information about their B-Corp performance
We believe B-Corp not only provides a relevant context for business activities but also provides a competitive advantage in terms of customers, suppliers and employee engagement.
Scale up
We work with a range of scale up businesses, providing mentoring directly or through Local Enterprise Partnership or other Accelerator programmes.
