March officially marks B-Corp month. And at Rippl, we’re all about celebrating businesses who demonstrate their commitment to empowering positive change. So, how does prioritising the People strategy align with the B Corp commitment? Let’s explore.

What is B Corp?

The B Corp certification celebrates businesses that are leading the global movement for a more inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy by measuring their entire social and environmental impact. Certified B Corps demonstrate meaningful balance between purpose and profit by meeting high verification standards of performance, accountability and transparency around their impact on their employees, customers, wider community and the environment.

How does a business become a B Corp? 

B Corp certification involves rigorous verification across 5 key criteria: governance, workers, customers, community, and the environment. From employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials, businesses must achieve the minimum 80 B Impact score and pass a risk review. In short, they must evidence tangible commitment to leading positive and lasting change.

Why is B Corp important?

In a noisy market, the B Corp certification stands businesses out from the rest – from building trust with their customers and suppliers, to attracting and retaining talent under a purpose-led brand, and consistently improving what they do and why they do it. 2021 data shows UK B Corp businesses have 22% higher growth in turnover and 13% in employee headcount.

How Rippl empowers positive People impact in the B Corp commitment:

1. Building connection and engagement. We know employees don’t stand still, so neither do we. Rippl’s mobile accessible app brings deskless, remote and dispersed workforces together in a digital, purpose-led community that inspires great things. Businesses can deliver an engagement strategy that reflects the modern world.

2. Prioritising a culture of recognition. Rippl ensures employees feel seen, heard and valued for all dimensions of their contribution, demonstrating their business’ commitment to creating a positive workplace where everyone can thrive.

3. Empowering employees’ needs. Individual needs across a workforce are diverse and multi-generational. Through a tailored and bespoke benefits hub, businesses can meaningfully support their people in- and outside of work across all areas of wellbeing and turn their EDI strategy into reality.

4. Driving positive change. The most impactful change starts from within. By amplifying the voices of the workforce through Rippl’s feedback and surveys features, businesses are able to identify and deliver on necessary areas for positive improvement across each of the five key B Corp criteria.

5. Evidencing tangible impact. By leveraging technology as a force for good, Rippl’s tangible data insights demonstrate the impact of prioritising the People experience through boosted engagement, improved employee satisfaction and retention rates.
