i-Team Global has applied to become a certified B Corp. Exciting development! Right? But what does it mean to be a B Corp and why is this significant to us?
B Corporations, or Benefit Corporations, are companies committed to both social and environmental responsibility. These companies use business as a force for good, to benefit all people, communities, and the planet.
To become a B Corp, organizations must submit the B Impact Assessment. This demonstrates an organisation’s dedication to sustainability, transparency, and ethical business practices.
A component of this B Impact Assessment is defining the Impact business models (IBM’s) for your company. These are specific types of business models, designed to create positive outcomes to business stakeholders – either workers, the community, the environment, or customers.
Want to find out what our IBM’s are? Keep reading, we’ll break them down later.
Our organization was born from the drive to contribute to the well-being of cleaners and the planet. This means we are committed to conscious business practices which improve our impact on the environment and society. Obtaining a B Corp certification showcases this commitment to the rest of the world, validating our efforts. It also provides us with a framework that allows for continuous improvement and encourages us to strive for better results.
