Suzanne Howe Communications becomes a Certified B Corporation™
Suzanne Howe Communications (SHC) joins the growing movement of companies using business as a force for good.
Kent-based business to business PR specialists Suzanne Howe Communications (SHC) has today announced its certification as a B Corporation (or B Corp™), joining a growing movement of companies that are reinventing business for the benefit of all people and our shared planet. Verified by B Lab, the not-for-profit behind the B Corp movement, the achievement demonstrates that SHC meets high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability alongside a commitment to goals beyond shareholder value.
The news comes as the ongoing climate crisis and widening social inequality continue to pose urgent challenges to our economy. B Corp Certification assesses the entirety of a business’ operations and covers impact areas related to practices around governance, workers, community, the environment and customers. The certification process is rigorous, with companies required to provide evidence on performance while legally embedding their commitment to purpose as well as profit in their company articles.
SHC is now part of a growing community of over 10,000 businesses globally that have certified as B Corps. The B Corp community in the UK is the largest and fastest-growing in the world, with over 2,600 companies spanning a range of different industries and sizes. Names include The Guardian, Innocent Drinks, Tony’s Chocolonely, The Big Issue, and Sipsmith Gin.
Chris Turner, CEO of B Lab UK, says: “Welcoming SHC to the B Corp community is hugely exciting. Its commitment to doing business differently will be an inspiration to others and will help spread the notion that success in business is as much about people and planet as it is profit.”
“As we celebrate 30 years in business, we are thrilled to announce that SHC has achieved B Corp™ certification,” says founder and managing director Suzanne Howe. “Certification means that we meet B Lab’s integrated social, environmental, and governance standards. This embeds our purpose and plans for positive impact in our company’s DNA, so that we’re aware of our impact on people and the planet.
“This achievement says so much about our loyal and talented team, as well as our clients and the industries we serve.”
