Environmental and social data were scattered across departments with inconsistent documentation
Governance responsibilities for sustainability were unclear, creating gaps in oversight
Many pieces of evidence required for certification were incomplete, ad-hoc or missing
No overarching sustainability framework existed to guide long-term maturity or external assessments

Created evidence templates and documentation processes aligned with certification expectations
Clarified internal governance responsibilities for sustainability decision-making and oversight
Established a sustainability management framework to guide future actions, monitoring and continual improvement

Outcome

Organisation was fully prepared to begin the B-Corp certification process with clear evidence structures
Internal governance for sustainability became defined and accountable
Environmental and social practice documentation improved significantly
Business gained a structured pathway for continued sustainability development
Stakeholders gained confidence through improved clarity, evidence and structure
