Certified B Corp

Certified B Corporations™, or B Corps™, are companies that are verified as meeting standards for social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. The “B” stands for “benefit”, for people and the planet, not just shareholders.

We opened up our business (i.e. our governance, our impact on workers, our community footprint) to an independent, third-party verification designed organization. Think of it like a financial audit, but for items that are not traditionally shown. For instance, we are reviewed based on how we treat people, how transparent we are, and whether our decisions actually serve the people affected by them.

What does it mean to Use Business as a force for good: 

It means that business is about more than just the bottom line. So much more.

It means that you can hold us accountable for our actions, which are always rooted in the desire to deliver a positive impact to stakeholders, employees, clients, suppliers, and the environment. Our commitment to doing right by our clients and our employees is steadfast. So is our commitment to balancing profit and purpose.

As a B Corp, we believe that doing good makes for good business. And that leading the charge and changing the traditional role of business in our community is best for the world. So that’s what we do and will continue to do. Our values and aspirations are embedded in the Declaration of Interdependence.

Why does this designation matter if you’re choosing a benefits and pensions advisor?

Anyone can say they put people first. B Corp Certification means we had to prove it. This matters because our job in our industry is looking after financial wellbeing for employees.

• Our purpose is embedded in how we operate. We are accountable to every decision, not just when it’s convenient.
• We’re part of a larger community working together for change. Holding each other to a high standard.
• We’re required to be transparent and accountable as standards continue to evolve.
