BKL has announced it has secured a B Corp certification, a worldwide community of businesses that meet high standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.
BKL said it began its B Corp application process in 2021 which enabled them to assess its impact on our people, clients, communities and the environment in detail.
BKL was B Corp certified with a score of 83.6.
Lee Brook, BKL’s managing partner, said: “In developing BKL’s approach to good business, we had set ourselves the target of achieving B Corp certification by 2026. Thanks to the dedication of our team and the work that we’ve put into becoming a sustainable business, we’re delighted to have reached that milestone much sooner.
“As a people business, we’re also proud to have earned an Impact Business Model from B Lab during the assessment process in recognition of our focus on developing our employees. An IBM is a rare achievement among B Corps.”
Myfanwy Neville, partner and head of ESG at BKL, added: “As professional advisers, we understand our responsibility to guide other businesses in doing the right thing. This is reflected in the services that BKL provides and our own commitment to a sustained positive impact on our people, clients, community and the environment. We’re so pleased to have become B Corp certified in recognition of that.
“We hope that many more businesses of all sizes, in our sector and beyond, will explore the benefits of joining the global B Corp movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy.”
