KMC Solutions’ Post

At Brightly, getting B Corp certified was a huge achievement. They really don’t make it easy! But just because we reached our goal, doesn’t mean we stop there. With each recertification, we're focused on improvements (in fact, we went from 80.9 after our initial certification, to recertifying with 106.8!) We want to move with the world, adapt to meet new needs, and keep our place in a community of B corps moving business forward. Since our original certification, we’ve put new process in place around measurement and reporting of key metrics that will continue to support our recertification applications. This process also helps us understand where there’s still work to be done and what areas of our business we need to focus on further with improvements. Being B Corp is a journey, not a destination! If you'd like to learn more about the improvements we've made so far, check out our recent post on our recertification.

Joining the B Corp community is just the beginning of a journey towards greater impact. For us, achieving B Corp certification signifies a commitment to never stop climbing. It's more than a badge; it's a promise to aim higher, challenge our limits, and redefine success with every step. Most B Corps keep improving their impact over time, and B Lab does its part by continually raising the certification bar to match evolving world issues. Ultimately, it's our collective responsibility to keep advancing better business practices. And you’re invited. Join us in this ongoing journey towards sustainable and ethical business practices.

It's the end of B Corp Month, and time to reflect on our journey, in line with this year's theme, 'This Way Forward’, emphasising that B Corps are not just about achieving certification. The theme celebrates our ongoing commitment to our impact on society and the environment. Since our B Corp certification in 2016, starting with a score of 90.2 and now at 116.5, we are proud of our ‘Way Forward’ across key areas. This score shows that over the past 8 years, we enhanced our governance, fostered community ties, progressed our environmental sustainability, and strengthened customer relations – one point at a time. These scores are not just numbers to us; they represent our active evolution as an organisation. And our team is actively engaged in celebrating and building the movement. Our Director of Impact and Engagement recently attended the B-Corp Assembly in Cape Schanck on beautiful Bunurong Country, our Practice Manager dedicated his MBA dissertation to ethical business, and our team regularly celebrates and shares stories of the latest organisations to achieve B Corp certification. Btw, did you know 99 Bikes is now a B Corp? 😉 With this in mind, 'This Way Forward' is about us developing as an organisation, but also about sharing the power of business to the wider world - that's why we intend to actively support the Queensland network of B-Corps to grow and become more connected. We move forward, individually and collectively, with a firm belief that all of us have to move to a future where business is a force for good, for people and the planet alike. #BCorpImpact #SocialResponsibility #BCorpCertified

This B Corp Month, we're proud to stand alongside over 8,000 Certified B Corps worldwide brought together by a shared mission to redefine success in business. At Paradox, we believe that being a B Corp is about more than just the outcomes we achieve, it's about how we achieve them. We’ve seen firsthand that great companies prioritize their people, proving that what's good for people is also good for business. Through our work, we are committed to creating innovative talent strategies that not only elevate businesses but also enrich the lives of those who make these businesses thrive. We’re here to show that equitable business practices and success are not mutually exclusive but are, in fact, interconnected. Being a B Corp means we're part of a movement that values people as much as profits, integrating these values into the very fabric of our company. This commitment is why Paradox is a Certified B Corp—we strive to lead by example, demonstrating that the path to success is paved with integrity, sustainability, and respect for all stakeholders. Here’s to shaping a future where businesses are celebrated not just for what they achieve, but for how they achieve it. #BCorpMonth #EthicalBusiness #GoodForPeopleGoodForBusiness

From the day I founded Paradox, I knew I wanted it to be a B Corp. To me, making decisions in the long-term interests of stakeholders - including our clients, our people, our environment, and our community - is just good business. In my experience, many business leaders care about their impact. Our B Corp certification helps hold us accountable to these ideals, as we continue to learn and grow. Happy B Corp month to all the businesses measuring their impact and striving for continuous improvement. It’s better to wrestle with solutions to tough questions than to not ask them. #BCorpMonth #ContinuousImprovement #MeasureWhatMatters #PurposeAndProfit
