EdventureCo achieves B Corp certification
Getting B Corp certification
Plain English Foundation is excited to announce that EdventureCo has been certified as a B Corporation by the global network, B Lab. The certification recognises EdventureCo’s commitment to raising business standards and creating a positive impact on its communities through education. And we’re proud to be part of the EdventureCo group, along with our sister companies, Lumify, ENS and Nexacu.
As a Certified B Corp, EdventureCo joins a worldwide movement of over 5,000 companies who use business as a force for good. Other B Corp companies include Patagonia, Ben & Jerry’s, Education Perfect, Aesop, and Honest to Goodness.
Assessing impact with B Lab
To become B Corp-certified, EdventureCo underwent B Lab’s B Impact Assessment (BIA). This rigorous process assessed EdventureCo’s performance in key areas such as governance, workers, community, environment and customers. EdventureCo achieved an outstanding score of 88.5, well above the required score of 80 and above the average score of 82.9 for B Corp businesses in Australia.
Committing to a better future
Nicola Fowkes, EdventureCo’s General Manager of Operations, led the certification process and said: ‘This is an important milestone for EdventureCo which confirms our business’s purpose of making a positive impact through education as well as our commitment to all stakeholders, especially our students, to deliver the skills they need for their future.’
‘I am truly grateful for the work that has been done by Nicola and the EdventureCo team to reach this milestone. The B Corp certification process is not a pledge that you can simply sign up to – it is a serious, ongoing commitment. Any business that has chosen to go through the B Corp Certification process is required to dedicate significant resources and time. The BIA is a stringent and thorough assessment, and those companies that have attained certification should be proud of their commitment to strive for the triple bottom line,’ said Benn Lim, Chief Operating & Impact Officer at Arowana.
