B Corps are businesses that voluntarily meet a higher standard of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. They are certified by B Lab, a non-profit organisation that evaluates companies based on their impact on stakeholders, including employees, customers, and the environment.
B Corps are committed to using their business as a force for good and strive to create a more sustainable and equitable world. By becoming a B Corp, companies better attract purpose-driven customers and employees and join a global community of like-minded business leaders.
By maintaining ethical practices throughout our business, from managing our operations to fostering positive employee and customer relationships, we ensure that our impact is both meaningful and tangible. We recognise that the success of our network, which includes our valued providers and learners, relies on our ability to ethically promote our services.
Our B Corp status serves as proof of our unwavering dedication to these principles, allowing us to envision and create a brighter, more responsible future for all stakeholders.
