We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve successfully recertified as a B Corporation! The recertification process, which evaluates and audits a company’s social and environmental impact, underscores Lonsdale’s commitment to purpose-driven business practices.
Elevating Impact: A 15% Score Surge
Lonsdale Solutions’ dedication to sustainable business practices has not only been reaffirmed but also amplified. Our B Corp impact score has surged by an impressive 15%, reflecting our continued efforts to create positive change within our community. Our overall impact score has improved from 85 to 98.1 double the median score for ordinary businesses.
“We are thrilled to achieve recertification as a B Corporation,” said Mike Walters, Managing Director of Lonsdale Solutions. “Our team’s work in integrating sustainability and community centricity into our operations has paid off. This recertification validates our commitment to balancing profit with purpose.”
What Is a B Corporation?
The B Corp Certification, issued by an independent non-profit organization called B Lab, is awarded to organizations that balance profit and purpose by meeting the highest standard of performance in social and environmental aspects, public transparency, and legal accountability. There are 650 B Corporations in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, part of a global community of 7800 certified organisations. To become a Certified B Corporation, companies like Lonsdale Solutions must undergo a rigorous B Impact Assessment and achieve a minimum score of 80.
The B Impact Assessment evaluates a company’s impact on five areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers. Companies must submit their assessment for recertification and be audited every three years in order to maintain their B Corp status.
