We're a B Corp - we couldn't B prouder!
Hymans Robertson is now a certified B Corp
That means we’re part of a global community of thousands of purpose-driven companies, working together to transform the global economy to benefit all people, communities and the planet.
In the video above, Senior Partner Jon Hatchett and Staff Partner Gill Tait explain what becoming a B Corp means for us.
We were so proud to become a certified B Corporation in summer 2023.
B Corp certification is verified by B Lab - a global non-profit network with a mission to inspire and help people to use business as a force for good. B Corp certification means we meet high standards for social and environmental impact, have made a legal commitment to stakeholder governance, and demonstrate accountability and transparency by disclosing our performance in a public B Corp profile.
Becoming a B Corp was a real milestone for our firm, but just the start of our journey. By certifying, we stepped into a framework for continuous improvement… We’re constantly learning from, and actively contributing to, the B Corp movement.
Proud to be a B Corp
B Corps are assessed across five key areas:
- Governance
- Workers
- Community
- Environment
- Customers
Each area is measured through B Lab’s impact assessment tool. To become a B Corp, businesses must reach a verified minimum score of 80 points – we were thrilled to get an overall score of 84.9.
Becoming a B Corp is a real milestone, but it’s just the start of our journey. B Corp certification means stepping into a continuous improvement framework: we need to reverify and reassess every three years to show we are still meeting B Lab’s evolving standards. We’re embracing the journey. We’re excited to learn from, and contribute to, the global B Corp movement.
