Our B Corp Journey

Becoming a certified B Corp isn’t just a badge, it’s a reflection of who we are, how we work, and what we stand for.

Why B Corp?

The B Corp certification is about more than being a “good” company, it’s about meeting the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. It’s a commitment to doing business as a force for good.

We chose to pursue B Corp status because it aligns with everything Brightsmith stands for:

  • Putting people before profit

  • Building an inclusive, values-driven culture

  • Prioritising sustainability in every decision

  • Creating long-term value for our team, our clients, our candidates, and our community

Our B Corp Score: What It Means

In February 2024, Brightsmith officially became a Certified B Corporation with a score of 98.

To become B Corp certified, businesses must score at least 80 points across five key areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers. That’s not an easy bar to reach and we’re proud to have gone well beyond it.

This result is a reflection of the values we’ve embedded into every part of the business, from how we support our team, to how we work with clients and contribute to the community.

We’re proud of our score, but even more excited about what it represents: that purpose and performance can and should go hand in hand.

The Journey So Far

The certification process challenged us to dig deep, to review, reflect, and refine how we operate. We formalised practices we’d always believed in, introduced new ways to track our impact, and doubled down on our commitment to sustainability and inclusion.

It wasn’t just about ticking boxes, it was about asking ourselves the hard questions and building a business that’s aligned with our values.

We’re already working on new initiatives around:

  • Climate and environmental impact

  • Inclusive hiring and career development

  • Volunteering and community engagement

  • Employee wellbeing and internal culture
