Our impact 2025
As a certified B Corp, we are legally bound to consider people, planet and profit when making decisions
This report is a detailed look into the impact that our 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.
Highlights of the full report include how we are reducing the carbon impact of the sites we build, how client satisfaction is holding up as we grow, and where we have seen small dips that we need to fix. It also reflects a year shaped by the loss of our co founder, Stéph, and how we plan to carry his approach forward.
If you’d like to find out more about a potential partnership, please get in touch at info@williamjoseph.co.uk
To certify as a B Corp, a company must achieve a minimum of verified score of 80 points on the B Impact Assessment. We achieved 102.9 in our recent recertification.
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.
