Taking you Behind The B!
In November 2021, The People Experience Hub became a certified B Corp... but our journey started long before then. What began as a commitment to doing business the right way has now grown into a defining part of who we are, how we work, and the impact we want to create.
Fast forward to today: we’ve renewed our B Corp certification, strengthened our impact, and stepped deeper into the community of organisations using business as a force for good. So, join me, Nick Court, as I take you #BehindTheB once again, with an updated look at what being a B Corp means for us in 2026.
Why did we decide to get certified?
We are an organisation with a purpose and, our purpose is to transform the experience of people at work. We do this by helping organisations of all sizes understand their people better, find out what gets in the way of a great day at work and what boosts them up to achieve amazing things!
We see our purpose as a societal one because the positive impact we can have on workplaces reaches into communities where our clients are based.
So, for us becoming a B-Corp made absolute sense because...
B Corp Certification is a designation that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials. In order to achieve certification, a company must:
Demonstrate high social and environmental performance by achieving a B Impact Assessment score of 80 or above and passing our risk review. Multinational corporations must also meet baseline requirement standards.
Make a legal commitment by changing their corporate governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders, not just shareholders, and achieve benefit corporation status if available in their jurisdiction.
Exhibit transparency by allowing information about their performance measured against B Lab’s standards to be publicly available on their B Corp profile on B Lab’s website.
What makes us a B-Corp today?
Everything about us still makes us a B Corp: our values, how we engage with clients, the way we treat our people, and the partners we choose to work with.
The accreditation looks closely at five areas:
1. Governance
Strong mission alignment, transparent leadership, ethical decisions, stakeholder accountability.
2. Workers
Financial security, wellbeing, development, safety, career progression, and employee voice (our speciality).
3. Community
How we impact the communities we serve, support diversity and inclusion, manage our supply chain, and give back.
4. Environment
Our approach to environmental responsibility, sustainability, and reducing our footprint.
5. Customers
Quality of service, ethical marketing, data privacy, and ensuring our work creates genuine value.
This is our score: Since certification, our People Score has placed us in the top 5% of B Corps globally, and we’ve continued to improve our governance, community, and customer impact year on year.

How We’ve Grown Since Our First Certification
Becoming a B Corp didn’t change who we are, but it sharpened our focus.
A stronger, more connected community
The UK is now home to the largest B Corp community in the world, and the sense of collaboration is stronger than ever. Whether it’s shared resources, local B Locals, or partnerships with other B Corps, we’ve felt more supported and more inspired,each year.
Real accountability, built into how we operate
We’ve strengthened our governance structure, updated legal commitments, and embedded B Corp principles into our board, leadership, and decision-making frameworks.
No greenwashing. No shortcuts. Just evidence-backed impact.
New internal commitments
In the past year we’ve:
- Made progress on employee ownership opportunities
- Integrated more sustainability practices into our office and operations
- Enhanced our ethical approach to data, insights, and responsible technology
- Continued our community initiatives, including wellbeing campaigns and collaborations with impact-driven partners
Our B Corp Goals for 2026
As we enter a new year, our focus is on building a business that grows with purpose. Our priorities include:
- Deepening our environmental commitments, including more sustainable office practices
- Enhancing employee ownership and development
