First Ascent is delighted to announce that it has attained B Corporation (B Corp) certification, an achievement that reflects its commitment to meeting the highest social and environmental standards. This milestone underscores the company’s dedication to making a positive impact through its work and operations.
The Cambridge-based company is a trusted training provider to a wide range of organisations, including global corporations, the NHS, central and local government, sport and third sector organisations. The attainment of B Corp status demonstrates First Ascent’s alignment with the growing demand from customers who require their partners to demonstrate ethical, sustainable, and responsible practices.
“We are thrilled to achieve B Corp certification,” said Steve Bentley, Director at First Ascent. “This recognition reaffirms our commitment to delivering exceptional training solutions while maintaining the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility. It’s a reflection of who we are and what we stand for as a company.”
Kylie Seaman, who led the project to achieve certification, added: “This journey has been incredibly rewarding. The B Corp process challenged us to evaluate every aspect of our business. It ensured we’re not only meeting, but exceeding, the standards that matter most to our clients and our community. It’s a testament to the dedication of our team and our company values.”
The certification process rigorously evaluates businesses on their impact across multiple areas, including governance, workers, community, environment, and customers. By achieving B Corp status, First Ascent has joined a global movement of companies dedicated to balancing purpose and profit.
First Ascent’s clients, which range from public sector organisations to leading-edge private enterprises, can be confident that their partnership with the company supports not only their professional development goals but also a broader mission of positive societal impact.
