In an era where businesses are increasingly held accountable for their social and environmental impact, Computeam has taken a significant step forward by achieving B-Corp certification.
This prestigious certification is awarded to companies that meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency. For us, this milestone is a testament to our commitment to making a positive impact on the world.
What is B-Corp Certification?
B-Corp certification is an accreditation that shows a business meets high standards of verified performance, accountability and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials.
The certification process is rigorous, requiring companies to complete a comprehensive assessment that evaluates their impact on all stakeholders, including workers, customers, the wider community and the environment.
Achieving B-Corp certification reflects our dedication to balancing profit with purpose. For Computeam, this certification is a validation of our continued efforts to operate responsibly and sustainably.
Computeam's journey to certification
Computeam's journey to becoming a B-Corp-certified company began with a thorough self-assessment of our business practices. This introspective process allowed us to identify areas where we were excelling and areas that needed improvement.
We then implemented a series of initiatives aimed at enhancing our social and environmental impact. These initiatives included reducing our carbon footprint, improving employee welfare programs and increasing our community engagement efforts.
“I am so proud that Computeam has become a Certified B-Corp. This movement recognises that business can be a force for good in society. Certified companies have high standards of environmental and social performance and are run for the benefit of ALL stakeholders: staff, clients and shareholders alike.”
“These values were a natural fit for Computeam, but the certification process was still tough and very rigorous! We're delighted to reach this significant milestone, hope that it appeals to our education clients and look forward to engaging with the wider @bcorpuk community.”
Owen Napier, Computeam CEO
Looking ahead
Computeam's B-Corp certification is a significant milestone, but it is also just the beginning. We are committed to continuous improvement and will regularly reassess and refine our practices to ensure we remain at the forefront of social and environmental responsibility. By doing so, Computeam aims to inspire other businesses to follow suit and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable world.
