Digital shouldn’t cost the earth!

As a progressive business, 16i is currently working towards B-Corp status, which means we’re striving to meet the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance transparency and accountability.

What is B-Corp?

Awarded by B-Lab (a non-profit global network), the certification quantifies social and environmental impact, with B-Corps achieving a B Impact score of 80 or above. It has currently been given to 4000 corporations across 77 countries including the likes of The Body Shop, Ben & Jerry’s, Patagonia and BrewDog; and helps to recognise a strong commitment to socio-environmental best practice.

As we work towards B-Corp status, our mission is to continue to create scalable, effective, and reliable solutions to enable businesses to achieve their digital transformation and deliver sustainable outcomes. We are dedicated to using business as a force for good, to make a positive impact for our clients, society, and the environment through the work we do, and the way that we do it.
