We are proud to announce that GlobeScan has been recertified as a B Corp achieving an overall impact score of 101.2 – a 20.8-point increase on our original certification score of 80.4 in 2017.
B Corps are businesses that use profits and growth for a greater good and have a positive impact in the lives of their employees and communities, and on the environment.
Businesses are externally assessed across a range of criteria and must meet a certain overall score to qualify. Criteria includes governance and transparency, working standards, community impact, environmental impact, and customer impact.
Commenting on the achievement of our recertification, Corinne Fontaine, Chief Operating Officer at GlobeScan, said: “The Certification process uses credible, comprehensive, transparent, and independent standards of social and environmental performance and provides us with a lens through which we can evaluate and improve our impact year on year.
We have signed up to the B Corp declaration of interdependence and firmly believe that we must be the change we seek in the world. We are committed to play our part to help co-create a sustainable and equitable future.”
B Corp Certification is a highly selective status. Companies must document their positive impact to qualify and undergo verification every three years to maintain their Certification. It is one of the only certifications that is not for a product or service, but for the whole business behind the product or service.
To date, there are almost 4,000 B Corps in 150 industries and 74 countries around the world.
