SourceCode Communications, an award-winning, international integrated communications and marketing agency that helps brands changing the world grow, proudly announces its achievement of B-Corp certification. Awarded by B Lab, a non-profit organization that evaluates and certifies companies based on rigorous standards, B-Corp status is a prestigious designation that recognizes companies committed to the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
“Achieving B-Corp certification is a huge milestone for us as an agency and a true testament to the culture we’ve built. It validates our belief that being a good corporate citizen just makes good business sense,” said Greg Mondshein, co-founder and Managing Partner at SourceCode Communications. “At the end of the day, we know businesses can be a force for positive change, and this certification confirms our ongoing efforts to integrate sustainability, empathy, ethics, and humanity into every aspect of our operations.”
As a B-Corp, SourceCode has demonstrated its dedication to balancing profit with purpose. The certification process involves a comprehensive assessment of a company’s impact on its workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment, evaluating its performance in several key areas:
- Social Performance: Ensuring fair treatment of employees, equitable business practices, and active community engagement.
- Environmental Performance: Implementing practices to reduce environmental impact, including resource efficiency and waste reduction.
- Accountability and Transparency: Upholding high standards of transparency and accountability in business practices and stakeholder communications.
This certification is a significant achievement for SourceCode, underscoring its commitment to operating with integrity and contributing positively to society. By joining the B-Corp community, the agency aligns itself with a global network of businesses that are leveraging their operations for greater social and environmental impact.
“Being a B-Corp is more than just a certification; it’s a reflection of our core values and our dedication to making a meaningful difference,” added Mondshein. “We look forward to continuing our journey with the B-Corp community and driving positive change in the communications industry and beyond.”
This achievement, which follows SourceCode’s previous commitment to the Clean Creatives pledge and founding of the Diversity Marketing Consortium, further cements the agency’s status as a leader in corporate responsibility and excellence – not just in the public relations industry, but the wider business world.
