L&C Mortgages announces that it has achieved B Corp certification.
B Corp Certification is granted by global nonprofit B Lab™ after a rigorous evaluation of a company’s performance across five key areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers. Certified B Corporations™ are businesses that meet the high standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability.
In its first assessment L&C was delighted to achieve a B Impact score of 87.4 to surpass the minimum necessary score of 80 required to achieve certification. According to B Lab most businesses would ordinarily achieve a median score of 50.9.
The certification sees L&C become part of a growing global movement of over 2,500 B Corps in the UK, all companies united by the belief that business can and should be a force for good™.
Mark Harrington, Chief Executive Officer at L&C said,
“Becoming a certified B Corp™ is a proud moment for L&C, underlining that we are a business that puts people, planet and purpose first. Achieving certification is certainly a major milestone but only represents the beginning of our commitment to ongoing improvement.
I’m excited for the impact we can continue to make, as we strive to build a fairer, more inclusive and sustainable future for our colleagues, customers and communities.”
