We first qualified as a B Corp in 2020 with a score of 86 points which we were and still are immensely proud of. Fast forward three years and it is time for us to re-certify, we are thrilled to say we have just completed the process and have achieved a score of 107.7.
Being a B Corp means so much to us, it is about balancing profit with purpose. It stands for a different way of doing things, making businesses a force for good – all things truly aligned with our
mission and vision.
In the three years since certifying we have used the assessment to help develop and improve in all areas across our business, which is reflected in our improved score. We have started aligning our goals with the UN SDGs and we embed being a B Corp into our team.
There are many benefits from being part of the B-Corp family. From the globally valued accreditation to the B-Corp network. From an improved supply chain to access to efficient financing.
But what I have found is the greatest benefit to Joseph Homes from being a
B-Corp is an increased alignment within the Joseph Homes team.
