B Corp

AWO was officially certified as a B Corp organisation, joining a global membership of accredited businesses that balance purpose and profit, and who commit to using business as a force for good.

Since AWO’s founding in 2020, we have worked hard to build an ethical, values led business, embedding these principles of into our organisational development at each step of our business’s growth. We are extraordinary proud to be alongside over 1000+ other businesses in Europe and 7300+ worldwide demonstrating how better business practices can help better society as a whole.

This B Corp certification confirms that:

* our work is impactful and positive for society.

* we meet high standards of social and environmental performance, governance, transparency, and accountability.

* the way we work is to the benefit of all people, communities and the planet.

With the accreditation also comes a binding legal commitment, which has been embedded into our Articles of Association. This commitment shifts the responsibility of the business away from being required to exclusively take decisions through the lens of profit maximization for the benefit of the owners, and take a wider more holistic societal view. By certifying as a B Corp, and changing our Articles of Association, we are legally required to consider the impact of our decisions and are legally accountable to all of our stakeholders - staff, communities, customers, suppliers, and the environment - not just owners and shareholders.

This B Corp certification demonstrates that we are committed and accountable to creating lasting value for all of our stakeholders, and credibly using our business as a force for good.
