We Are Officially a B Corp: What It Means and Why It Matters

We have some news, and it is the kind of news we have been working towards for a very long time. eComOne is officially a Certified B Corporation!

After 15 months of policy development, operational reviews, evidence-based reporting, and more spreadsheets than we care to count, we have achieved B Corp Certification. We have joined a global network of businesses verified for meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.

This is a proud moment for everyone at eComOne, and we want to share exactly what it means.

What Is B Corp Certification?

B Corp Certification is one of the most rigorous and credible business accreditations in the world. Awarded by B Lab, it is independently verified and audited against the B Lab Standards, a globally recognised framework that assesses a company’s impact across governance, workforce, community, and environmental practice.

To put it simply: it is not a badge you can buy. It is one you have to earn. And it places eComOne among over 10,000 purpose-driven companies across six continents who are collectively committed to using business as a force for good.

15 Months in the Making

The certification process was no small undertaking. Over the course of 15 months, the team worked through a comprehensive assessment covering every aspect of how we operate, from how we treat our people, to how we show up in our community, to our responsibilities to the planet.

A huge congratulations is owed to Carrianne Dukes, Head of Brand, who led the charge on this, and to every member of the eComOne team who contributed along the way. This was a collective effort, and it reflects something that has always been true about the culture here: we do not just talk about doing the right thing. We build it into how we work.

What It Reflects About eComOne

As Richard Hill, CEO and founder of eComOne, put it: “For us, this is not just a badge. It reflects how we do business. We do not just focus on generating profit. We look after our people and do our best to support the planet.”

That philosophy is woven into the fabric of the business. Our employment practices include flexible working as standard, free counselling and mental health days, investment in career development, and paid volunteering time. We run work experience initiatives, support local schools, and engage with community events throughout the year.

We also select a Charity of the Year, and in 2026 we are proud to be supporting Breast Cancer Care UK.

This Is Just the Beginning

Carrianne put it perfectly: “This accreditation is not the end. It is a commitment to keep improving. We will continue striving to do better for our people, our community and the planet, while building a sustainable and profitable business.”

B Corp Certification is not a destination. It is a framework for continuous improvement, and one we are genuinely excited to grow within.

We are incredibly proud of what this team has achieved. Here is to building something we can all be proud of, for our people, our clients, and the world around us.
