We’re excited to share a major milestone for the team at JRP: our successful recertification with a B Impact Assessment Score of 104, a substantial improvement from our initial score of 88.7 in 2022. 

This year marks our first 3 yearly assessment, and we’re proud to see our Impact Assessment Score rise significantly. While B Corp Certification doesn’t imply perfection or the peak of impact, it demonstrates a commitment to continuous improvement and being part of a global network of businesses working together for systemic economic change. To maintain this certification, we meet increasingly stringent standards for social and environmental performance. 

 

What is B Corp? 

B Corp Certification is a designation that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials. The 'B' stands for 'Benefit for all'. 

To achieve certification, a company must:  

  • Demonstrate high social and environmental performance by achieving a B Impact Assessment score of 80 or above and passing the B Corp risk review. Multinational corporations must also meet baseline requirement standards.  

  • Make a legal commitment by changing their corporate governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders, not just shareholders, and achieve benefit corporation status if available in their jurisdiction.  

  • Exhibit transparency by allowing information about their performance measured against B Lab’s standards to be publicly available on their B Corp profile on B Lab’s website.   

 

Our B Corp Journey
 

Becoming a B Corp was a natural progression for JRP. From our roots as an energy consultancy, focused on operational improvements and cost-saving, we have grown into a broader sustainability organisation, particularly with our acquisition of a long-term sustainability partner. This step allowed us to evolve from focusing on compliance and best practices to championing Net Zero initiatives. 

From day one, we’ve aimed to lead by example, creating the kind of workplace our experienced consultants wish had existed earlier in their careers. JRP is dedicated to ensuring our actions result in a positive, well-rounded impact. Our B Corp commitments involve thorough assessments of our practices across five essential areas: governance, workers, community, environment, and customers. 

 

Looking Forward
 

As we move into our fourth year as a B Corp, our dedication to driving positive change is stronger than ever. We recognise the global challenges we face, but we believe that purpose-driven companies like JRP have the potential to make a real difference — especially when we work together. 

Being part of the B Corp community inspires us and reinforces our role in shaping a better, more sustainable future. We are determined to keep using business as a force for good.  

Together, we can create a world that thrives.
