We're delighted to be the first regional building society to become B Corp certified within the UK. We've been dedicated to doing business for good since 1858, so this was a natural fit for us.

Last year we revealed our new vision, being there to help people live better lives, and achieving this certification showcases our commitment to this.

What does it mean to be B Corp certified?

The B Corp certification is awarded by B Lab, a global non-profit organisation. Being B Corp certified means that a company meets high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. 

Now that we're B Corp certified, we're joining a global movement of businesses that are dedicated to doing business for good.

Why does being a B Corp matter?

We’re committed to doing the right thing by our customers, ensuring that they are supported and listened to. We’re also committed to maintaining our local branch presence, and face to face services that meet the needs of underserved customers.

For our employees

We're dedicated to building capability within the business, providing our employees with a range of benefits and promoting a positive workplace culture.

For our community

We’re focused on supporting our local communities through a range of outreach activities. More specifically, we want to support struggling individuals within the community to prosper.

For our environment

We measure our carbon footprint impact, but we are committed to building on this further. We are committed to both reducing our impact and being there to support our customers and communities from a climate perspective.
