Why it matters: The Claydon-based firm remains one of only 22 Suffolk businesses to hold the demanding certification, which requires companies to prove they balance profit with purpose.
The big picture: B Corp certification is widely recognised as a rigorous benchmark for ethical and sustainable business practices. Companies must undergo a detailed assessment of their impact across governance, workers, community, customers and the environment.
The process repeats every three years, with renewal requiring evidence of ongoing improvement. Maintaining the status is often seen as just as challenging as gaining it initially.
What they're saying: Colin Low, founder and managing director of Kingsfleet, said: "Becoming a B Corp is hard — staying a B Corp is even harder. The standards are high, and rightly so. We welcome that challenge because it keeps us accountable to our clients, our team and our community."
He added: "Our recertification shows that we're not just resting on past achievements — we're continuing to push ourselves to do business in a way that truly balances people, planet and profit."
For context: Kingsfleet first achieved B Corp status in 2022, joining a small number of UK financial planning firms to be certified. The firm is based at Claydon Court, Old Ipswich Road, Claydon.
The bottom line: By maintaining its certification, Kingsfleet remains part of a global movement of more than 8,000 companies committed to using business as a force for good.
