Certified B Corporations are a new kind of business that balances purpose and profit. They are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment. This is a community of leaders, driving a global movement of people using business as a force for good. These organisations meet high standards to achieve certification and Zen is one of them.

Zen first became B Corp accredited in August 2020 and as part of this status, we now produce an annual report detailing our performance in the five key behaviours and governance structures – workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment – as set out by the B Lab entity. At Zen we use this Impact Assessment Report as a barometer to monitor our progress and identify areas for improvement across the five key areas. It also acts as a transparent resource to keep our people, customers and suppliers informed about our social and environmental impact and the steps we are taking to ensure our business is a force for good.
