We are proud to be members of Clean Creatives who have made this happen. Thank you B Lab, for listening and taking action. Today all of us who work every day to generate a positive impact with our companies have a renewed faith in the B Corp Certification process.
👏 BREAKING NEWS: B Lab has officially revoked Havas’ B Corp certification in response to its work with fossil fuel polluter, Shell. Havas London, Havas Lemz, Havas New York, and Havas Immerse are no longer Certified B Corps. This decision follows pressure from 27 B Corps in the Clean Creatives network, as well as many other professionals and creatives advocating for urgent climate action across the Ad & PR industry. This wouldn’t have been possible without them. We want to thank B Lab for making the right call to protect their standards from agencies that want to use the certification as cover for greenwashing. We hope to see similar decisions made for other B Corp agencies that continue to work with fossil fuel polluters. B Lab said that “We thank the complainants in this case for their role in the investigation and encourage individuals with concerns about Certified B Corps to continue to use B Lab’s Public Complaint Process.” 🖊️ If you work in the Ad & PR industry and want to see Havas drop its fossil fuel clients next, you can sign the Clean Creatives pledge at cleancreatives.org
