B Corporations are companies that’ve been certified to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency. Now Actually joins a global community of businesses actively working towards creating a different kind of economy. One where short-term gains aren’t prioritised over long-term value – where people and the planet are put before profits.
As an outsourced HR business, we want to show you that it’s possible to be compliant and still put your people first. Taking care of people is at the core of what we do and drives the change we want to see in the world. From how we support our team to do their best work, to the services we deliver to our clients, to the footprint we’ll leave behind.
By certifying, Now Actually adopts a framework for continuous improvement. To keep our B Corp certification, we’ll undertake an assessment and verification process every three years. This is to show how we’re still meeting B Lab’s standards—which are themselves always improving via continual input from their expert group of stakeholders.
Part of becoming a certified B Corporation means Now Actually makes a commitment to consider your interests alongside our team, communities and the larger environment. It doesn’t mean that we do this ‘perfectly’ all the time, nor have we achieved the highest impact.
What it does mean is that we’re dedicated to making a more positive and powerful social impact in as many ways as we can. B Corp certification keeps us accountable and transparent because we’ll have to share our record of performance with you in our public B Corp profile.
We’re proud to be a certified B Corporation and part of a small yet passionate group of businesses that walk their talk. It might be a single letter but it’s a big deal to us!
