Well above benchmark. Across every impact area. No exceptions.
A B Corporation (or B Corp) is a company that’s been certified as balancing profit with purpose. We believe that opportunity should be open to everyone. It not only drives us to change organisations for the better – but make a positive impact on society and the world, too. Being B Corp isn’t easy to achieve. It involves meeting high ethical standards around social and environmental sustainability, transparency and accountability. Every year. So, we’re proud of the conscious collective effort that’s helped us to reach this status – and build on it. Incredibly, our total Impact Score means we’re now in the top performing B Corp's around the world.
Reaccrediting is big. It’s to be celebrated. But it’s also a milestone on a continuous path. A living commitment to doing better. It’s hard work that evolves, deepens, and asks more from us every year. B Corp isn’t a box we ticked once. It’s something we actively live.
With decades of experience, we've seen trends come and go – initiatives that flare brightly and disappear just as quickly. This means too much for that. B Corp is a warts-and-all mirror to keep us honest, accountable, and doing the right thing… even when it’s difficult.
Being B Corp reflects the daily choices, actions, and integrity of everyone at SMRS. Whether it’s supporting each other, championing fairness, or driving innovative work that puts people first, we all try to live our values every day.
Our Manchester roots shape who we are. This city has always done things differently – boldly, creatively, and with a no-nonsense commitment to improvement. That’s true of SMRS, too. We test, we learn, we innovate. We’re not afraid to challenge ourselves or the way things have always been done.
What’s next for us as a B Corp
Reaccreditation has raised our own bar further. We’ll keep improving our environmental impact. Keep pushing for equity and inclusion. Keep working with our community. Our ongoing B Corp journey will be shaped by our people and passion for changing for the better.
