eKal Solutions is a specialist Oracle ERP and Change Management consultancy working across Public and Private Sectors to deliver systems transformation, and has achieved the landmark status of becoming B Corp Certified.
We believe that B Corps are the future of business and feel incredibly proud to be a part of a global
community of businesses who meet high standards of social and environmental impact.
Our team had become tired of the corporate culture of documenting policies to claim to be a conscientious business but without any substance, and wanted to demonstrably show our commitment to use our business as a force for good.
What does this mean?
If you’re not aware of B Corp yet, it’s a growing movement of people all committed to using business as a force for good, balancing people, planet and profit. There are currently over 1900+ B Corps in the UK and 8000+ globally. To become a Certified B Corp, you need to complete a B Impact Assessment (BIA), a digital tool that can help measure, manage, and improve positive impact performance across your business.
Every B Corp is scored using five impact areas of the B Impact Assessment (BIA), Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, and Customers. A minimum of 80 points is required to certify and we scored 92.8.
We also became members of the Better Business Act coalition and firmly believe in the collective power, and responsibility, of businesses to have a positive impact on people and the planet, and support the goal of the BBA to amend Section 172 of the Companies Act accordingly.
Next steps
To do better, and to help others who want to start on the B Corp journey. We will continue to strive to improve in all aspects of how we do business.
