This is probably one of the highest accolades the agency has received in the 18 years since it was founded. I am very proud to announce that Base Creative has achieved B Corp™ certification! One year ago, the Base Creative team sat down to ask ourselves one question: who are our dream clients for the year ahead? As we began putting ideas up on the board, one common theme became clear. We want to work with businesses that are having a positive impact on people and the planet. Now, we’re joining over 2000 other UK businesses that have met high standards of sustainability and transparency, and who want to use their work as a force for good. B Corp™ certification is a huge milestone, but it’s also just the beginning. A huge thank you to Greg Mileham and Charlie Stewart for their dedicated efforts, and to Andy Hawkins and Business on Purpose for their invaluable guidance throughout this process. I am excited to meet more members of this community very soon! #BCorp
