TellJO has joined the growing group of companies reinventing business by pursuing purpose as well as profit. Committing to be the change we seek in the world.
What is a B Corp?
B Corp Certification measures a company’s entire social and environmental impact. B Corps are certified by B Lab to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. With the aim of transforming the economy to benefit all people, communities and the planet.
B Labs scrutinise every part of a business over five key areas: Governance, Environment, Workers, Community and Customers.
To achieve the certification TellJO had to:
- Demonstrate high social and environmental performance by achieving a B Impact Assessment score of 80 or above and passing a risk review. TellJO scored 94.2.
- Make a legal commitment by changing our corporate governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders, not just shareholders.
- Exhibit transparency by allowing information about our performance measured against B Lab’s standards to be publicly available on our B Corp profile on B Lab’s website and recertify every 3 years.
Why does it matter?
After a rigorous application process, that took over a year. The certification is a huge achievement for TellJO. It reinforces our mission to use technology for good and to use our digital wellbeing checks to support people struggling with their financial, physical or mental health and to prevent crisis situations such as problem debt and homelessness.
There are currently over 2,000 B Corps in the UK and 8,000 worldwide. Being part of a global community that shares our values allows us to collaborate, learn and do even more good for our customers and communities.
Dominic Maxwell, Founder of TellJO, said “Certification as a B Corp is the result of a rigorous application process spanning over a year. It’s a huge achievement for TellJO. We’re delighted that our digital wellbeing checks are now recognised for their social value.”
