B Corporation

We have joined a global community of businesses that are proven to meet a high standard of social and environmental impact.

‘B’ stands for ‘benefit for all’. B Corp is a movement powered by progressive organisations that prioritise long-term value, people, green practices and equality of opportunity over short-term gains and profits.

B Corps are also legally committed to bring benefits not just to shareholders, but all business stakeholders – workers, customers, communities and the environment.

As a B Corp, Osborne Thomas shares a core set of beliefs with our community members:

• we must be the change we seek in the world.
• all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered.
• businesses should aspire to do no harm and benefit all through their products, practices, and profits.

The ultimate vision is of an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy that works for everyone: transforming the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet.

For Osborne Thomas, B Corp certification shows that we’re an organisation that’s not solely focused on profit – we are striving for positive change.

Gaining certification involved a rigorous audit process in which we re-examined everything we do. Looking forward, we are embarking on a journey of continuous development and collective action to grow our social value.

Our Carbon Reduction Plan commits us to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Our strategies are made, and operations delivered, with a keen eye on the effect we have on the people around us and the world we live in.

Crucially, as a B Corp, we are committed to positive, best practice governance – with a service founded on trust, transparency, honesty and openness.

For our employees that means we offer a supportive workplace that celebrates diversity and individuality and believes in the value and potential of everyone.

Our candidates have the reassurance of dealing with an organisation that thinks beyond numbers and targets. We care about the future of the people we place.

For clients it means a commitment to listening to your specific needs and striving to become a trusted long-term partner who strengthens your efforts to ensure an ethical, sustainable supply chain.

Together, we can create change for the better. Everyone benefits from B Corp.
