Helping businesses minimise their environmental impact and deliver on their sustainability goals is at the heart of what we do – but we are also passionate about developing our own growth as a green organisation.

We believe it’s important to demonstrate our commitment to improving our own sustainability – so we are delighted to announce that we are now B Corp Accredited!

About B Corps

Certified B Corporations – also known as B Corps – are companies that are verified by B Lab to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. To achieve certification, a company must fulfil specific criteria which include:

• Demonstrating a high social and environmental performance by achieving a B Impact Assessment score of 80 or above and passing a risk review
• Making a legal commitment by changing their corporate governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders and not just shareholders – and achieve benefit corporation status if available in their jurisdiction.
• Exhibiting transparency by allowing information about their performance, measured against B Lab’s standards to be publicly available on their B Corp profile on B Lab’s website.

The B Impact Assessment and standards are independently governed by their Standards Advisory Council and continually improved by input from the organisation’s community of users and stakeholders.

The standards are very high – and we’re thrilled that we have been officially recognised!

Leading the Way – Gateway Secures B Corp Accreditation

This accreditation further cements our commitment to advancing the sustainability credentials we already have.

It also directly ties into the services that our sister company Axiom provides – dedicated software that measures, tracks and reports on the sustainability performance of an organisation. This helps make gathering and evidencing data much easier for businesses that want to progress their own environmental commitments, and shows clearly the areas of operations that are in need of improvement. It’s also very handy for companies working towards  B Corp accreditation!
