Erevena becomes a Certified B Corporation

Leading executive search firm for investor-backed businesses joins the growing movement of companies using business as a force for good.

We’re delighted to announce our certification as a B Corporation (or B Corp), joining a growing movement of companies that are reinventing business for the benefit of all people and our shared planet. Verified by B Lab, the not-for-profit behind the B Corp movement, the achievement demonstrates that Erevena meets high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability alongside a commitment to goals beyond shareholder value.

The news comes as the ongoing climate crisis and widening social inequality continue to pose urgent challenges to our economy. B Corp Certification assesses the entirety of a business’ operations and currently covers five main impact areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers. The certification process is rigorous, with companies required to reach a score of 80 points in the B Impact Assessment while providing evidence of responsible practices relating to energy supplies, waste and water use, worker compensation, diversity, and corporate transparency. A business must also legally embed their commitment to purpose as well as profit in their company articles.

Erevena is now part of a growing community of over 8,000 businesses globally that have certified as B Corps. The B Corp community in the UK is one of the largest and fastest-growing in the world, with over 1,700 companies spanning a range of different industries and sizes.

Chris Turner, executive director of B Lab UK, says:

“We are pleased to have B Corps of all shapes and sizes as part of our community — from startups to multinationals and across many different industries. Business is a powerful force and B Corps demonstrate that positive impact is possible in any sector. Welcoming Erevena is an exciting moment for the executive search industry. B Lab UK and the rest of the B Corp community are really pleased that Erevena is paving the way for a new way of doing things.”

Dan Hyde, CEO of Erevena says: “Joining the B Corp community is hugely exciting for Erevena, it’s recognition of our commitment to meeting high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. We’re delighted to help spread the notion that success in business is as much about people and planet as it is profit.”
