How has Joiin achieved B Corp status?
Achieving B Corp status is a significant milestone. It involves a rigorous process that begins with a comprehensive application that examines every aspect of business practices – from environmental impact and community involvement to employee welfare and governance structures. It’s not just about ticking boxes; it’s about demonstrating genuine, measurable commitment to making a positive impact.
The verification process, which can take up to a year, involves detailed documentation, third-party assessments, and often a series of challenging improvements to meet the standards set by B Lab, the nonprofit behind the B Corp certification.
For Joiin, this journey has been one of reflection and growth, aligning our business practices with the values we want in our community.
The company strongly believe that profit and purpose go hand in hand, and it doesn’t stop now. It is excited about the future and the opportunities this certification brings.
Joiin’s Chief Commercial Officer, Paul Shipway, said: “We are delighted to achieve B Corp Certification at Joiin. This milestone underscores our unwavering commitment to social and environmental responsibility, reflecting the inclusive and sustainable culture we are working hard to build. It is a testament to our team’s hard work and dedication to the triple bottom line – People, Planet, and Profit – showcasing our ongoing efforts to balance purpose with business success.”
