Bidwells hopes that the certification will better enable us to integrate positive impact into every facet of our business operations as we aim to fulfil our ambition to become the UK’s most sustainable property consultancy.
B Corp certification is known as one of the most rigorous and advanced corporate sustainability certification processes. It involves completing the B Impact Assessment, which evaluates a company's impact across five areas; clients/customers; governance; employees; community; and the environment.
Companies are required to recertify to B Corp every three years to ensure that they uphold the standards and values required to be verified across their social and environmental performance. We will now begin to publish an annual impact report to evaluate our performance against each of these areas.
Kelly Bream, COO at Bidwells, said:
“B Corp certification is an important step on our journey to becoming the UK’s most sustainable property consultancy. Social and environmental impact is incredibly important to us in a way that goes beyond commercial performance – though we appreciate and embrace the economic benefits of operating in a sustainable manner. Bidwells remains committed to improving its B Corp Impact Assessment score and looks forward to bringing further benefit to people, communities, and the planet as it expands its footprint across the built environment.”
