Hymans Robertson has announced that it has achieved B Corp certification and has joined the B Corp movement.

The pensions and financial services consultancy has gained the certification which is widely recognised as a ‘gold standard’ for social and environmental performance.

The certification is verified by B Lab, a global non-profit network with a mission to inspire and enable people to use business as a force for good.

Prospective certificate receivers are assessed across five key areas; governance, workers, community, environment and customers.

In order to gain certification, companies, such as Hymans Roberston, are required to demonstrate high standards across all areas in a rigorous verification process.

Staff partner at Hymans Robertson, Gill Tait, said: “Becoming a B Corp is a real milestone for us and a positive affirmation of our credentials as a purpose-led firm. We’re thrilled to now be part of B Corp’s global community of purpose-driven businesses working together to transform the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet.

“We’ve worked hard to gain the certification which aligns clearly with our firm’s purpose – ‘Together, building better futures’, and the wider philosophy of our partnership. Today’s announcement is the culmination of a long-term belief that our business can be a force for good and positively impact our people, clients, communities and the environment.

“Gaining the certification is a great achievement, but it’s just the start of our B Corp journey and we certainly won’t be resting on our laurels. By certifying, we step into a framework for ongoing improvement to continually demonstrate we still meet B Lab’s standards. So, we’ve lots more planned to continue our progress across each of the areas that have contributed to us becoming a B Corp.”
