This summer, Postlethwaite reached another milestone: we are now officially B Corp certified. Already 100% employee-owned, this step reflects our continued commitment to balancing profit with purpose. B Corp certification, awarded by global non-profit B Lab, recognises businesses that meet the highest standards of accountability across governance, workers, community, environment and clients. As Robert Postlethwaite says, “Certification is just the start. For us, the real work is in continually improving how we serve our people, clients and community.” We’re proud to join over 8,000 companies worldwide proving that business can be a force for good.
