Elmrep Achieves Certified B Corporation™ Status with an Outstanding Score of 91.5
At Elmrep, we've always believed that the way you do business is just as important as the products and services you provide.
We're incredibly proud to share that Elmrep has officially become a Certified B Corporation™, achieving an impressive B Impact Assessment score of 91.5.
For us, this is far more than a certification. It is recognition of over 40 years of putting people, relationships and responsible business at the heart of everything we do.
What is B Corp Certification?
Certified B Corporations™ are businesses that meet rigorous standards of verified social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
B Corp looks at every aspect of a business, assessing how it operates, how it treats its employees, the impact it has on its community, its environmental practices and how it governs itself.
To become certified, businesses must complete the B Impact Assessment and achieve a minimum verified score of 80 points.
Why a Score of 91.5 Matters
Achieving certification is an achievement in itself, but achieving a verified score of 91.5 demonstrates that responsible business practices are deeply embedded within the way Elmrep operates.
The assessment measures performance across five key areas:
-
Governance - operating transparently and ethically.
-
Workers - supporting employee wellbeing, development and engagement.
-
Community - creating positive impact through suppliers, customers and local communities.
-
Environment - reducing environmental impact and embracing sustainable practices.
-
Customers - delivering products and services that create genuine value.
With the certification threshold set at 80 points, Elmrep's score of 91.5 reflects a strong commitment to balancing commercial success with social and environmental responsibility.
A Reflection of Our Values Since 1984
Although becoming a B Corp is a new milestone, the principles behind it are not new to Elmrep.
Since becoming established in 1984, we've always focused on building long-term relationships with our clients rather than short-term transactions.
Whether we're supporting a local business with managed print services, helping customers reduce waste through more efficient technology or providing responsive, personal customer service, we've always believed that doing the right thing is good business. Becoming B Corp certified simply formalises those values and provides an internationally recognised framework to continue improving.
More Than Sustainability
While environmental responsibility is an important part of B Corp, the certification goes much further because it recognises businesses that consider the wider impact of every decision they make.
For Elmrep, this means continuing to:
-
Put customers at the centre of everything we do.
-
Invest in our people and create a positive working environment.
-
Build trusted relationships with suppliers and partners.
-
Support our local community.
-
Continuously improve our environmental performance.
-
Operate with honesty, transparency and integrity.
These are principles we've followed for decades, and ones that will continue to guide our future.
Joining a Global Community
Elmrep is now part of a global movement of businesses that believe business should be a force for good.
Certified B Corporations are committed to creating positive impact alongside commercial success, proving that businesses can thrive while also making meaningful contributions to society and the environment.
We're incredibly proud to stand alongside thousands of organisations worldwide who share these values.
Looking Ahead
Receiving our B Corp certification is just the beginning of our ambitions. The certification process encourages continuous improvement, and we're committed to building on our score of 91.5 by identifying new ways to strengthen our impact, improve our sustainability and continue delivering exceptional service to our customers.
As our business evolves, our mission remains the same: to provide stressless office printing backed by outstanding service, trusted relationships and responsible business practices.
We'd like to thank our employees, customers, suppliers and partners who have supported us throughout this journey. Your trust has enabled us to grow whilst remaining true to the values that have defined Elmrep since 1984.
We're proud of what we've achieved and even more excited about what comes next.
