We're a B Corp: announcement

Bennetts Associates has been named a 2022 Best for the World™ B Corp™ in recognition of our exceptional positive impact on its Workers in the 50-249 Employees category. Best for the World is a distinction granted by B Lab to Certified B Corporations (B Corps) whose verified B Impact Scores in the five impact areas evaluated in the B Impact Assessment — community, customers, environment, governance, and workers — rank in the top 5% of all B Corps in their corresponding size group.

Companies can make a large impact on the lives of their workers well beyond work hours. The Best For The World B Corps in the Workers impact area achieved a top 5% score by putting in place exemplary employee-friendly practices, such as ownership opportunities, job flexibility, and fair-chance hiring policies.

Being an Employee Ownership Trust played a big part in our high ranking during the B Corp assessment: Our original announcement of the EOT creation back in 2016

At Bennetts Associates, Employee Ownership is a part of who we are. It is the foundation of our practice, providing the guiding principles that inform our core ethos and our approach to design. We recognise our value is our people and the EOT places them at the centre of the business, offering a platform to have a fair and equal voice.
