We're B Corp Certified! But what does it really mean?

If you have not heard, we recently completed our B Corp certification. This places us alongside more than 10,000 companies that have committed to strong social, environmental, and governance standards.

So what does that actually mean for us and for the clients who work with us?

B Corp certification looks at five key pillars, each focusing on a different part of how a business operates and the impact it has.

Environment

This pillar focuses on how we take care of the planet. As a company, we are always considering how our actions affect the environment and where we can make more responsible choices in our day-to-day operations.

One step we have already taken is offsetting our carbon footprint, which allows us to operate as a carbon-neutral business. It's a practical way for us to reduce our impact while continuing to look for ways to improve further over time by being conscious of how our actions affect the planet.

Governance

Governance is about making decisions with all stakeholders in mind. That includes our clients, employees, and suppliers.

We believe everyone should have a voice. We actively welcome feedback from our clients and regularly invite it, as their insight helps shape how we work and how we improve. As stakeholders in our business, it is important that their views are heard and taken seriously.

Internally, we aim to keep our team informed and involved. We recently held a group business planning session where input from across the company helped us think more broadly about the future. Bringing different perspectives together leads to stronger decisions.

Customers

Our clients sit at the centre of everything we do. Without them, Branding Box wouldn't exist! We are constantly looking for ways to improve our service, and customer feedback plays a key role in that process.

We listen carefully to what works well and where there is room to do better, then use that insight to refine how we work. B Corp certification reinforces our responsibility to deliver thoughtful, reliable work that genuinely supports our clients’ goals.

Workers

Our commitment to our team is to create a company that they feel proud to be part of. We aim to treat every person as a valued member of Branding Box, regardless of role or contract type.

We offer a range of benefits, including health insurance, and work to create an environment where people feel supported, informed, and respected. When people feel valued, they are better able to do their best work, and that benefits everyone.

Community

Being part of a wider community matters to us. We support local business groups and encourage our team to engage with causes that are important to them.

Team members are given the opportunity to use part of their working time to provide services to a local cause of their choice. It is one way we can give back and stay connected to the communities around us.

What this means going forward

For us, B Corp is an ongoing commitment to hold ourselves accountable and keep improving how we operate.

For our clients, it means working with a business that takes responsibility seriously and makes considered decisions. For us, it is about continuing to build a company that balances commercial success with positive impact.
