Green Element Group B Corp Impact Report 2021-2022

As a certified B Corporation, we strive to balance business success with social and environmental sustainability, and our impact report reflects our commitment to these values.  This report is a transparent look at our performance since 2021, focusing on five key areas: Governance, Clients, Team, Environment, and Community.  

As a growing organisation, we are proud of the progress made to date, and the goals achieved. We have shone a transparent light on the areas that need improvement, and the goals not quite reached. We have set impactful, yet realistic, goals for 2023 to empower ourselves and the organisations we work with to build a more sustainable future. 

We want to thank our hard-working team, our clients, and our partners for helping us to make an impact on the world.  

 

What our clients say

Initially brought in just to look at ISO14001, our interactions with Green Element led to us applying and being successful in attaining B Corps status as a measure of the complete Responsible Business strategy in White Light, and now the wider group of companies within d&b solutions.
