We are now a Certified B Corporation!

Having worked exceptionally hard to achieve certification over the past two years, we are proud to reach this milestone and to share the news, but what does B Corp certification actually mean?

As a B Corp we are now part of a global network of businesses that have committed to meeting verified high standards of social and environmental impact and have committed to accountability to balance both profit and purpose.

The B in B Corp stands for Benefit referring to the benefit of all stakeholders and is designed to look at how businesses benefit community, workers, customers and the environment. It aims to measure the entire social and environmental impact of a business. 

At SRA, we knew we held ourselves to high standards, and were looking for a verifiable benchmark to measure ourselves against and to provide a framework for our continued improvement in the future. In B Corp we believe we found just that.

Our Values

“We’re delighted and proud of our team here at SRA for achieving our B Corp Certification. We have always known that we have a special team.
B Corp gives us a framework through which we can self reflect, frame our future improvements and track our progress as we continue to prioritise the People, the Planet and the Place that we impact.”

A message from the directors

The Assessment

The B Impact Assessment is a rigorous and comprehensive review of the whole business. Companies are assessed across 5 key areas:

Our Score

So how did we do? Part of the B Corp ethos is to be open and transparent and to share best practice across the network. In this spirit we include an extract of our B Impact Score which is publicly available and can be viewed on the B Corp website.

Rated out of a maximum theoretical score of 200, the median score for businesses who complete the assessment is 50.9, underlining the high standards required across the five benchmarked areas of Governance, Workers, Environment, Customers and Community.

We please to say we achieved a B Impact Score of 85.2, clearing the certification standard (80 points) and qualifying to take our place alongside the other B Corp businesses in the UK, currently covering over 55 industries and representing over 56,000 workers.
