Posted by Picture of Team B.E. Team B.E.

We’re excited to be able to say that Beyond Encryption is now a Certified B Corporation.

Joining the ranks of companies that prioritise purpose alongside profit, we’re setting a new benchmark in secure digital communications.

What It Means to Be a B Corp

Becoming a B Corp is about more than just certification—it’s about commitment.

To achieve this milestone, we demonstrated our adherence to rigorous social and environmental standards set by B Lab, the organisation behind the movement.

The certification covers every aspect of a business’s operations, assessing five key impact areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers.

As part of this process, we achieved a benchmark score exceeding 80, showcasing our dedication to responsible practices.

This includes everything from energy use and waste management to employee compensation and corporate transparency.

By earning this certification, we join a global network of over 6,200 companies working to reshape the role of business in society.

In the UK alone, more than 1,300 companies have achieved B Corp status, including brands like The Guardian, Patagonia, and Coursera.

Sustainability is an increasing focus for companies, especially in financial services and other regulated sectors and our B Corp certification is a key differentiator.
