My path to becoming a Certified B Corp business
Manage episode 387609509 series 3314267
- I would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which I recorded this episode, the Coodjinburra People of the Bundjalung Nation, and the land on which you're listening to it. I pay my respects to the elders, past and present, of those lands. I extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners. Thank you for sharing this space with me. -
If you’re an avid listener to this podcast or a follower on our socials, you will no doubt be aware that sustainability is very important to me and my business. Increasingly over the last couple of years, I started to feel as if I wanted to do more to ensure that Straight Up Bookkeeping was hitting more sustainable targets so that the strong values we hold, were being demonstrated effectively.
I was inspired to become a B Corp certified business when I started working with purpose-led clients who cared about the world they do business in and were making sustainable choices. Seeing their commitment to sustainability and the positive impact they were making motivated me to be part of this movement.
I wanted my business to be known as a good business, one that could be trusted and a market leader when it came to sustainable practices.
The deciding moment came when a prospective client, who had been a B Corp certified business for several years, asked about our sustainability practices. I didn't want to scramble for answers in the future; I wanted to be a business that lived and breathed sustainability.
After two years of work to achieve this, I am proud to say that my business, Straight Up Bookkeeping, is now a B Corp certified business.
Being a B Corp certified business requires recertification every three years. So, my team and I need to stay focused on what got us here and continue improving our good business practices year after year to maintain our accreditation. B Corp matters have become my world, and I'm excited to share my journey with you.
This has been an immensely rewarding journey. I believe that good businesses have a role to play in making the world a better place. While the certification process required investment and dedication, the benefits far outweigh the costs. I am excited about the future and the positive impact we can continue to make as a B Corp certified business.
