We are thrilled to announce that Consider IT has officially become a Certified B Corporation! This is a significant milestone for us, reflecting our commitment to using business as a force for good. In this blog post, we want to share what becoming a B-Corp means, why it matters, and what we achieved to earn this prestigious certification.
What is B-Corp Certification?
B-Corp, or Benefit Corporation, certification is awarded to companies that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, and balance profit and purpose. This rigorous certification process, governed by the non-profit, B Lab, evaluates how a company’s operations and business model impact its workers, community, environment, and customers.
The Journey to Certification
Our journey to becoming a B-Corp has been both challenging and rewarding. The process involved a comprehensive assessment of our business practices, from our environmental footprint and workplace policies to our community engagement and customer relationships. Here’s a glimpse into what it took to get here:
Rigorous Assessment: We underwent the B Impact Assessment, which evaluated our impact on governance, workers, community, environment, and customers. This thorough examination ensured that our operations align with the high standards set by B Lab.
Transparency and Accountability: Transparency is a cornerstone of the B-Corp certification. We committed to public transparency and legal accountability by integrating the B-Corp principles into our corporate governance.
Continuous Improvement: Becoming a B-Corp is not just about meeting standards; it’s about continuously striving to improve. We are committed to ongoing enhancement of our practices to ensure we maintain our B-Corp status and continue to lead by example in the IT industry.
