Optimised officially join the B Corp movement

In July 2022, the Optimised Group officially became a B Corp, and joined a community of over 5,000 companies worldwide, pursuing purpose as well as profit.

After our Optimised Energy division joined the movement in 2020, it was essential to bring the entirety of Optimised into the fold.

What is a B Corp?

B Corporations are a growing group of companies who are reinventing business, by pursuing purpose as well as profit. The Optimised Group has been certified by B Lab (the not for profit behind the B Corp movement) as having met rigorous social and environmental standards which represent its commitment to goals outside of shareholder profit.

Simply put, certified B Corps are companies who are committed to prioritising the environment and society in the way they do business.

James Wood, Managing Director of Optimised was delighted:

“We are proud to have been re-certified as a B Corp, this time including the entire Optimised Group. This is a great achievement for a growing business, that enforces our belief in doing things the right way in everything that we do.
