We are thrilled to announce we are officially the first and only independent media agency in the UK to achieve B Corp status. This status is awarded to companies that meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance.
By becoming a B Corp certified business, we join a group of companies, across a wide range of industries, who are dedicated to building a more inclusive and sustainable economy. We are very proud to have gained this status, displaying our team’s commitment to meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.
Our Chairman, Mike Sell led this process supported by our dedicated B Corp team, who work across all departments and levels in the agency.
Upon gaining this status, Mike Sell commented:
“Achieving B Corp status is just the beginning of the journey for us – not the destination. It’s taken us nearly two years, with a team of dedicated volunteers from across the agency, and this recognition is a clear demonstration that the values of sustainability, local community and focusing beyond profit run at the heart of the Total Media Group.
During the process, one of our team leaders said it perfectly: “You’ll spend a quarter of your week at work – why not try and create the kind of company you want to work for?”
We were so inspired by the many organisations who had already achieved B Corp status and we hope, in our own way, to be an inspiration for others to follow”.
