ADAPTOVATE Achieves B Corp Certification, Reinforcing Commitment to Sustainable and Ethical Business Practices

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sydney, Australia – 13 November 2024 – Adaptovate, a global management consultancy known for its innovative approach to business transformation, is pleased to announce its certification as a B Corporation (B Corp). This recognition signifies Adaptovate’s dedication to balancing purpose and profit, ensuring that environmental and social considerations are at the heart of its business operations.

The journey to B Corp certification is a challenging one, requiring companies to meet rigorous standards across five impact areas: governance, workers, customers, community, and the environment. For Adaptovate, the certification marks an important point in its mission to operate with integrity and responsibility.

“Our B Corp certification is a significant milestone, demonstrating our commitment to not only driving financial success but also to making a positive impact on society and the environment. It is a commitment to leveraging our expertise to drive sustainable, responsible growth.” said Melanie Burrows, CFO.

Adaptovate’s certification followed a 10-month journey of introspection and assessments. As a global consultancy with a presence across ten countries, the certification process required a significant investment of time and effort from team members at all levels. This rigorous process also involved confronting the unique challenges faced by the consulting industry, such as managing a carbon footprint influenced by essential air travel. Despite these challenges, Adaptovate remains committed to finding innovative solutions to reduce its environmental impact over time.

In a business landscape where concerns about greenwashing are on the rise, Adaptovate aims to set an example of genuine, measurable impact. “Becoming a Certified B Corp is a reflection of our core values and the standards we hold ourselves to,” said Doug Ross, Founder. “It solidifies our commitment to doing business in a way that benefits everyone, from our employees and customers to the communities we work with.”

For Adaptovate, achieving B Corp certification is the starting point in its sustainability journey. The company is dedicated to continuously improving its practices and to meeting and exceeding the standards set by B Corp. “We congratulate and warmly welcome Adaptovate to the global B Corp movement. As an organisation that has a ripple effect on many other businesses, Adaptovate’s B Corp Certification demonstrates a willingness to be accountable and to use its business as a force for good. It’s the type of leadership we need to see from all businesses,” says Andrew Davies, CEO of B Lab Australia & Aotearoa New Zealand.

Adaptovate is committed to supporting other organisations on their journey to B Corp certification. By sharing insights and best practices, the company hopes to build a community of purpose-driven businesses that prioritise sustainability and social impact alongside financial performance.
