Bidwells achieves B Corp status

Property consultancy Bidwells has secured B Corp status. B Corporations are companies certified by B Lab, a non-profit organisation dedicated to transforming the economy to benefit all people, communities and the planet. The certification means Bidwells has met the highest standard of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. Applicants are required to exceed a benchmark score of 80 out of 200, with Bidwell’s total entry score sitting at 91.3. Bidwells said it hopes that the certification will enable it to integrate positive impact into every facet of its business operations as it aims to fulfil its ambition to become the most sustainable property consultancy in the UK. Kelly Bream, COO at Bidwells, said: “B Corp certification is an important step on our journey to becoming the UK’s most sustainable property consultancy. Social and environmental impact is incredibly important to us in a way that goes beyond commercial performance – though we appreciate and embrace the economic benefits of operating in a sustainable manner. Bidwells remains committed to improving its B Corp impact assessment score and looks forward to bringing further benefit to people, communities, and the planet as it expands its footprint across the built environment.”
