Reflecting on a Major Milestone and Our Vision for the Year Ahead
As the new year begins, we find ourselves looking back on 2024 with a sense of pride and accomplishment. It was a year of hard work, growth, and progress—and it ended on an absolute high note.
In December, Cornwall Environmental Consultants Limited (CEC Ltd), the consultancy arm of Cornwall Wildlife Trust, achieved B Corp Certification. This recognition is more than just a badge; it’s a testament to the values we’ve upheld for years and a commitment to creating a better future.
What Does Being a B Corp Mean?
B Corps are businesses that meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. By becoming a B Corp, we’re joining a global community of companies using business as a force for good.
We’re thrilled to share that our score of 129.4 significantly exceeded the qualifying threshold of 80—and far surpassed the UK average of 50.9. This achievement reflects the dedication of our team, the impact of our work, and the values that guide us every day.
Why It Matters
For us, this certification isn’t just about meeting criteria; it’s about staying true to our mission. As a consultancy that supports Cornwall Wildlife Trust, our work is rooted in sustainability, environmental stewardship, and community impact.
This milestone reinforces three core pillars of our approach:
- Sustainability First: Our projects are designed to protect and enhance the environment.
- Ethical Practices: Integrity is at the heart of everything we do.
- Positive Impact: We aim to make a tangible difference for Cornwall and beyond.
Looking Ahead to 2025
As we celebrate this achievement, we’re also looking forward. B Corp Certification isn’t a finish line; it’s a foundation. In 2025, we’re committed to building on this momentum:
- Driving even greater sustainability in our projects.
- Expanding our community impact across Cornwall.
- Continuing to lead with transparency and purpose.
A Thank You
To our clients, partners, and supporters: thank you for being part of our journey. Your trust and collaboration make it possible for us to do what we love—and to do it in a way that aligns with our values.
