It is with great pride and privilege we can announce that 16i has been certified as a B Corporation, achieving a significant milestone in our journey toward being a responsible, purpose-driven, digital solutions business.

We have now joined a select but growing group of companies globally that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and impact, showing that business can be a force for good.

What is B Corp Certification?

The B Corp certification is governed by the non-profit B Lab, and awarded to businesses demonstrating exceptional commitment to positive impact across five key areas:

  • Governance – How our overall mission and purpose impacts the world around us.

  • Workers – How well we look after our team and recruitment standards.

  • Community - How engage and contribute to our local community.

  • Environment – How we are reducing our environmental impact.

  • Customers – How well we take care of our customers and clients.

The rigorous assessment process challenges organisations to evaluate how their operations and business model affect all stakeholders, promoting a culture of transparency and continuous improvement.

Advancing Sustainability and Social Responsibility

This certification shows our dedication goes beyond just delivering effective, innovative and sustainable digital solutions. It is also about how we integrate the principals of environmental sustainability and social responsibility into every aspect of our what we do and how we operate. From reducing our environmental footprint and championing ethical supply chains, to supporting local communities and fostering a diverse, inclusive workplace, 16i is doing its part in setting a benchmark for the digital sector.

Our most notable initiatives we have undertaken to achieve this have been the installation of solar panels to power the office and charge company vehicles, flexible working practices, and offering charitable partnerships aimed at giving back to the community. These efforts are now integral parts of our working practices and culture, demonstrating that business success and positive impact can go hand in hand.

A word from leadership

Alex Clough, Managing Director of 16i, shared his thoughts on this accomplishment:

“Achieving B Corp certification is a proud moment for everyone at 16i. It’s a testament to our team’s unwavering commitment to using our work and business as a force for good. For us, being a B Corp isn’t just about meeting a certified standard—it’s about making real changes and embracing a new mindset shift to what we put out into the world. We’re dedicated to making a meaningful difference for our clients, our community, and the environment, and this certification underscores our promise to always put purpose alongside profit.”

Looking Forward

Achieving B Corp is only the beginning for us here at 16i. We are more committed than ever to continuous improvement. We continue to look to the future with a clear focus: to drive digital innovation while remaining steadfast in our mission to create a more sustainable, equitable world through technology and collaboration.

We could not have done this without the hard work and co-operation of our entire team and with the support and guidance from Fran Page at The GoodBetter whose invaluable consultancy has helped us improve and refine what we do, ensuring we met the stringent guidelines needed to be a B Corp.

We invite our current clients, partners, and peers to consider joining us in being a part of the B Corp community, working together to build a brighter, more responsible future for all. We are happy to speak to anyone considering taking the journey.
