From the day I founded Paradox, I knew I wanted it to be a B Corp. To me, making decisions in the long-term interests of stakeholders - including our clients, our people, our environment, and our community - is just good business. In my experience, many business leaders care about their impact. Our B Corp certification helps hold us accountable to these ideals, as we continue to learn and grow. Happy B Corp month to all the businesses measuring their impact and striving for continuous improvement. It’s better to wrestle with solutions to tough questions than to not ask them. #BCorpMonth #ContinuousImprovement #MeasureWhatMatters #PurposeAndProfit

This B Corp Month, we're proud to stand alongside over 8,000 Certified B Corps worldwide brought together by a shared mission to redefine success in business. At Paradox, we believe that being a B Corp is about more than just the outcomes we achieve, it's about how we achieve them. We’ve seen firsthand that great companies prioritize their people, proving that what's good for people is also good for business. Through our work, we are committed to creating innovative talent strategies that not only elevate businesses but also enrich the lives of those who make these businesses thrive. We’re here to show that equitable business practices and success are not mutually exclusive but are, in fact, interconnected. Being a B Corp means we're part of a movement that values people as much as profits, integrating these values into the very fabric of our company. This commitment is why Paradox is a Certified B Corp—we strive to lead by example, demonstrating that the path to success is paved with integrity, sustainability, and respect for all stakeholders. Here’s to shaping a future where businesses are celebrated not just for what they achieve, but for how they achieve it. #BCorpMonth #EthicalBusiness #GoodForPeopleGoodForBusiness

We’re excited to share a significant milestone: Vero is now a certified B Corp! 🌱🎉 By aligning with the global B Corp movement led by B Lab, we’re not only embracing rigorous standards of governance and transparency, but also joining a community dedicated to making businesses a force for good. This journey, which involved a year-long process of assessment and introspection, has been a source of learning as well as pride. It challenged us to examine our internal policies and practices, encouraging us to evolve into a more conscious communications consultancy in a climate-vulnerable region. Vero stands as the largest independent agency in Southeast Asia that has obtained the B Corp Certification. This accomplishment underscores our unwavering commitment to sustainable business practices and making a positive impact wherever we operate. As we stand shoulder to shoulder with over 8,500 B Corps worldwide, we are guided by principles of responsibility, transparency, and accountability in redefining the role of business in society.

𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 🌏 #BCorp certified companies around the world are celebrating B Corp Month. What exactly are B Corps – and why are so many companies eager to get certified as one? Here's a look at the global movement led by B Lab:

Over the moon to finally share that Program is officially a B Corp 🎉 I've absolutely loved leading on this journey as our Sustainability Champion with brilliant support from Caroline Orr, Emma McLeod, Dan Pritchard and the rest of the team. Over the past year, I've delved into our mission, ethics, transparency, environmental impact, and how we deliver value for our employees and clients. It's been a mission, but it's so worth it to truly hold ourselves accountable to our values, and become one of 2,000 other B Corps in the UK. At the start of your own journey to become Certified? My top three pieces of advice are: 🚀 Start now! It feels daunting, but you definitely don't need to have all the answers or a perfect score before you start. Sign up now, begin the assessment, and get a clear idea of what score you've got to start with. 🤝 Get everyone onboard from the get-go. Having leadership understand the importance of B Corp, and being excited about the process, is key to getting it moving. And get buy-in from the whole team to make sure everyone can play a part in their company's journey! 🗓 Little and often. I set aside Friday afternoons for progressing our assessment, with weekly catch ups with our leadership team. Sure, you can dedicate a whole employee to it, or work with a consultant to speed up the process, but don't panic if you're only able to chip away at it! #BCorp #BCorpCertified B Lab UK Leah Erdbrink Chris Noble Antonia Casey Emma Anderson Georgia Mancey
