2024 BCorp Impact Report

2024 … a year of challenge and change

Back in 2020, we signed the Declaration of Interdependence and became a B Corp—something we were proud to align with our DNA. Since then we grew steadily, making clear, values-driven decisions.

Then came 2024. Economic and political instability, tightened budgets, fewer projects, and hit our revenue and profitability. The biggest impact? Less work for our team.

Despite the hurdles, we remained dedicated to our B Corp commitments and our good growth mission. We partnered with a range of great companies, delivering 77 projects that meet our ‘good growth’ criteria. However, our overall good growth revenue dipped to 22% from 38% in 2023.

It wasn’t easy. But we kept moving forward. And we’ve got stories to tell!

Driving impact with General Motors

Simplifying Marketing, Amplifying Impact.

GM brought us in to simplify their marketing, helping teams make a bigger impact on vehicle sales. We’re proud to play a role in their vision: zero crashes, zero emissions, zero congestion.

Did we single-handedly double their EV sales in Q4 2024? Nope. But we like to think we helped steer things in the right direction—and that’s what motivates us.

Leeds Building Society Enables More Home Ownership.

Leeds Building Society is on a mission to put homeownership within reach—especially for those often overlooked. That’s a purpose we can get behind.

We partnered with them to empower more people to buy homes in the communities they love. Because where you live should be where you feel you can belong.

We thoroughly enjoyed working with the team at Oxford who have helped transform the way we look at our brand today. Through robust collaboration and a strong partnership, they helped make our purpose relevant to all our members by developing a new customer engagement strategy, resulting in a powerful new creative brief and compelling campaign for our brand.

Good Growth Starts with Knowing You

Before we start working with any new clients, we do an assessment of their business. Our ‘Know Your Client’ assessment ensures we understand who we’re choosing to partner with, and how we can help them in line with our Good Growth mission. We scour reports, sustainability directories, news, and, most importantly, have real conversations with clients about how we can help them be better. Because growth should be good—for everyone.

Our Impact with Impetus

Since 2022, we’ve proudly partnered with Impetus, a charity powerhouse that boosts its partners’ impact—perfectly aligning with our expertise in capability-building and our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

In two years, we’ve tackled nine projects across six charities, donating 78 pro bono days to drive real change.

As an ongoing Impetus donor and supporter, we’re helping close the attainment gap for disadvantaged young people—because talent should never be limited by opportunity.

GOVERNANCE

Doing good is how we do business

From the day we started, we’ve believed that profit is an outcome of doing the right thing for all our stakeholders. 

We rely on our Board to be hands-on, to make decisions that are right for all our stakeholders – our people, our customers, the environment, as well as our shareholders. Some of the things we believe are critical include: our Remuneration Committee, with independent oversight, responsible for fair and equitable compensation decisions;  financial transparency, sharing monthly business updates with our staff and community; engaging our community via monthly meetings, weekly email and seeking feedback; updating and transparently publishing our Ethics and Compliance Policy & our Supplier Code of Conduct, and reviewing our banking arrangements to move to more ethical institutions. 

Because doing good isn’t just a goal—it’s how we operate.

Less Carbon, More Connection

No factories, no commercial offices—just impact.

Working remotely keeps our carbon footprint low, but we still track and offset it through Plan A and Ecologi.

Our biggest carbon challenge? Travel. While most meetings are virtual, we know some moments—big decisions, tough projects, real relationship-building—are better in person. So, we changed our travel policy to focus on when it’s essential and how to minimize impact when we do.

In 2024, we removed 337 tonnes of carbon via the Delta Blue Carbon project.

It’s a constant balancing act, but we’re getting it right—most of the time!
