Become a B Corp like CFP Green Buildings!

CFP Green Buildings recently received official recognition as a B Corporation (B Corp), a prestigious title that distinguishes our company as a leader in sustainability and socially responsible business practices. We are incredibly proud of this certification and, as such, we aim to inspire others to join the B Corp community too!

What exactly is a B Corp?

As a B Corp, you become part of a global community of companies that aim not only for profit but also for social and environmental goals. B Corp organisations are committed to creating positive changes for our planet and the communities in which we operate. To be recognised as a B Corp, several factors are crucial:

1. Sustainability. Your company must be sustainable and strive for a positive impact on the environment. This includes reducing your ecological footprint, minimising waste, and using renewable energy sources.
2. Social Responsibility. Your company must advocate for social justice and the well-being of employees, customers, suppliers, and the communities in which it operates. This may involve fair labour practices, diversity and inclusion initiatives, and community engagement.
3. Transparency. Being sustainable isn’t enough; you must also be transparent about your finances, governance, environmental and social performance, as well as communicate your goals and progress in sustainability.
4. Positive Impact. It’s also important that your company demonstrably has a positive impact on society and the environment. This can be measured through the B Impact Assessment, which evaluates various aspects of sustainability and social responsibility.

An economy that benefits the world

To become a B Corp, you must meet rigorous standards in social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. It’s not just about obtaining certification; the B Corp movement aims for an economy that benefits all people, communities, and the planet.

“The process of becoming a B Corp may not be easy, but it’s definitely worth it. It requires a thorough evaluation of your business practices, transparency in your operations, and a strong commitment to sustainability. It’s a challenge we’ve proudly embraced, and we’re delighted to be officially recognised as a B Corp.”

– Nanda Verschoor, Head of International Operations at CFP Green Buildings
