Our impact 2022
As a certified B Corp, we are legally bound to consider people, planet and profit when making decisions
This report is a deep dive into the impact that those decisions are having on the world around us.
We use the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework to categorise and measure our impact. We are pleased that we have been able to improve our impact against the UN SDGs by 42% from last year.
Highlights include continuing to develop our approach to flexible working and making decisions as a group. Both are key enablers in allowing us to become a more equitable organisation and improve our impact on the wider community.
We are also investing in improving our B Corp score with our first internally facing role focussed on increasing our score by 10 points by the time we re-certify.
If you’d like to find out more about a potential partnership, please get in touch at info@williamjoseph.co.uk
42%
increase in impact against the UN SDGs from 2021
To certify as a B Corp, a company must achieve a minimum of verified score of 80 points on the B Impact Assessment. We achieve 98.9 but want to improve our score by 10 points in areas such as environment and governance by the time we re-certify.
Reporting impact against the UN SDGs
By choosing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as our reporting framework, we can directly link our work at William Joseph and for our clients, to a larger programme of socially positive works. While not perfect, the SDGs cover a wide range of positive initiatives that we can genuinely contribute towards.
We have mapped our own activities and the work we deliver to clients against the 17 goals. This gives us a heatmap of where we need to focus our efforts over the coming year, to better improve the world for all our communities.
We’ll be looking across both the clients we partner with and the way that we operate William Joseph to better impact the goals we are currently underperforming against.
