The SHARP Agency has joined the 7,000-strong B Corp-certified global business community.
The UK’s B Corp cohort currently numbers around 1,500 across a cross-section of industries and sizes, including well-known brands such as The Guardian, innocent, Patagonia, The Body Shop and organic food pioneers Abel & Cole.
During the approval process, the agency was scored on a range of criteria from employee diversity and engagement to finance, growth, governance and the sustainability of its processes. The B Corp audit also considered the agency’s contribution to local initiatives and its overall impact on the wider community.
SHARP co-founder and design director Darlene Sharp said: “To join the B Corp community is hugely exciting. We hope our commitment to doing business differently will be an inspiration to others and really help spread the idea that we can redefine success in business to be as much about people and the planet as it is about profit.”
Chris Turner, executive director of B Lab UK, added: “We are delighted to welcome The SHARP Agency to the B Corp community. This is a movement of companies who are committed to changing how business operates and believe business really can be a force for good. We know that SHARP will be a fantastic addition to the community and will continue driving the conversation forward.”
