Our impact | Certified B Corporation

Becoming a B Corp

Becoming a B Corp is the beginning, not the end, of our journey. It reflects our people and how we develop and look after everyone. It reflects the lasting impact we create with our clients and in the communities where we live and work around the world.

"We have always put clients’ success and our teams’ enjoyment at the heart of our strategy. In addition, we are proud to be recognised as one of the leading global advisors on climate change, net zero and sustainability, across all industries. Therefore, becoming a B Corp felt like a natural next step, where we commit to remain focused as much on people and the planet as we do profit."

Adrian Bettridge, Managing Partner

Why is B Corp status important to us?

The assessment looked at how we are using our business as a force for good and covered all areas of firm including:

People

We support our people's mental, physical, professional, and financial well-being, and contribute to social mobility for young people wanting to get into the workplace. For example:

Prioritising health and well-being, and embedding it in our policies
Running mental health awareness initiatives
Investing in everyone’s career development
Cultivating an active feedback and coaching culture
Conducting regular employee satisfaction surveys
Supporting social mobility through work placements
And promoting a growth mindset, so we keep learning and stay open to new experiences and ideas.

We constantly strive to be a great employer. And for more than a decade, we’ve consistently been at the top of the ‘Great Places to Work’.

Clients

The work we do with our clients – and their clients – delivers a positive social or environmental impact. For example:

Helping our clients create enough renewable energy capacity in the last five years to power over 180 million homes
Supporting our clients in natural resources to meet their climate and broader sustainability commitments
Collaborating with the financial services sector to redirect capital towards climate and
sustainability opportunities and away from risks impacting society
Working alongside the UK’s Department for Health, the NHS, and BEIS to deliver on some of their most important commitments in areas like energy policy and sustainable supply chains.

Planet

Much of our work focuses on the planet. For example:

Fostering climate action through our market-leading climate change scenario model with BlackRock and our deep client partnerships in the energy transition
Supporting the economic and social well-being of the communities we live and work in through our charity partners, volunteering, Baringa-wide CSR days, and secondments.
Demonstrating environmental stewardship through our direct operations and supply chain.
