Our Values At B-People
As the new generation of businesses that combine profit with purpose, B-People was established to help improve equality and diversity in the workplace and is now a fully certified B Corp. Hence a core set of values underpin our working practices and every project that we undertake...
-
Purpose:
Everything we do should contribute to something bigger than ourselves.
-
Progression:
Our job is to help everyone progress – in the areas they care about most.
-
Freedom:
We empower at every opportunity – when people feel free, they thrive.
-
Fairness:
We always play fair – that way everyone wins.
-
Flow:
We seek harmony between energy, expertise and our work.
These values align us directly with the worldwide B Corp movement, of which we are now a fully certified participant and enthusiastic advocate.
