At Better Being, our mission has always been to enhance the health and wellbeing of employees through our holistic corporate wellbeing programs. Today, we are thrilled to share a significant milestone in our journey – Better Being is now a Certified B Corporation!
What is a B Corporation?
B Corporations, or B Corps, are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability. The certification is awarded by B Lab, a non-profit organisation, to companies that use the power of business to build a more inclusive and sustainable economy.
Why This Matters
Achieving B Corp certification is not just about recognition; it’s about reaffirming our commitment to doing business differently. Here’s what this means for our clients, our community, and the planet:
- Enhanced Trust: Our B Corp status assures you that we meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance. This certification is a testament to our dedication to transparency and accountability.
- Sustainable Practices: We are committed to sustainability in every aspect of our operations. From reducing our carbon footprint to promoting sustainable practices within our programs, we strive to make a positive impact on the environment.
- Community Focus: Being a B Corp means we value our community and are dedicated to contributing positively to society. We believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back.
Our Journey to Certification
The journey to becoming a B Corp was rigorous and required a deep dive into our practices and policies. We underwent a comprehensive assessment that evaluated our impact on all our stakeholders, including employees, clients, community, and the environment. This process helped us identify areas for improvement and reinforced our commitment to continuous growth and positive impact.
Our Score
In July of 2024 we achieved a first-time score of 82. The average score for first-time applicants is 51. We are extremely proud of this score and whilst above average, Better Being strives to improve this score over the next 3 years.
What’s Next?
Our B Corp Certification is just the beginning. Our certification motivates us more than ever to enhance our programs and initiatives, ensuring they align with our values of sustainability, community, and wellbeing. Here’s what you can expect from us moving forward:
- Innovative Wellbeing Programs: We will continue to develop and offer programs that support employee health and wellbeing, rooted in the PERMA model of behaviour change and our four pillars of performance: Movement, Mindset, Nutrition, and Recovery.
- Sustainability Initiatives: We are committed to integrating more sustainable practices into our operations and encouraging our clients to do the same. This includes reducing waste, promoting eco-friendly practices, and supporting green initiatives.
- Community Engagement: We will increase our efforts to engage with and support our local communities. This includes partnerships with local organisations, volunteer opportunities for our team, and initiatives that give back to society.
Thank You for Your Support
We couldn’t have achieved this milestone without the support of our clients, partners, and team members. Your belief in our mission and your commitment to wellbeing have been instrumental in our journey. Thank you for being a part of Better Being’s story.
We are excited about the future and look forward to continuing to make a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of employees, communities, and the planet.
