B Corp Certified: Our Commitment to Sustainability and Social Impact.

PL Projects is a Certified B Corporation – Leading Ethically in Project Delivery.

We are proud to announce that PL Projects has officially achieved B Corp Certification, a globally recognised standard that demonstrates our deep commitment to social and environmental responsibility. This milestone, led by Nafa Duwebi and Mike Bates, reflects a journey that began nearly two years ago, but in truth, it’s a journey that has been embedded in our business values from the very beginning.

What is B Corp Certification and Why It Matters?

B Corp Certification is awarded by B Lab, a non-profit organisation that rigorously assesses companies for their social and environmental impact. Becoming a Certified B Corporation means that an organisation meets high standards of transparency, accountability, and performance in areas such as governance, workers’ rights, environmental impact, and community engagement.

For PL Projects, earning B Corp status is a formal recognition of values we’ve held since our inception. It aligns with our belief that businesses must be a force for good – balancing profit with purpose. Certification ensures our stakeholders – clients, candidates, employees, and partners – can trust that we operate ethically, transparently, and with long-term sustainability in mind.

What This Means for Our Clients and Partners

As a Certified B Corporation, PL Projects offers clients more than just exceptional delivery, training, and consultancy – we offer ethical leadership and sustainable solutions. Here’s how this benefits those we work with:

By partnering with PL Projects, you are aligning with a business that genuinely prioritises people and the planet in every decision.

What Makes PL Projects a B Corp?

Our certification was granted based on several key achievements:

• High performance in social and environmental impact, particularly in the areas of workers’ wellbeing and community engagement, as assessed through the B Impact Assessment tool.
• Legally embedding our values by amending our Articles of Association to include social and environmental purpose at the core of our business.
• Public transparency through regular reporting on our website and via the B Lab Global platform.

Our Next Steps as a B Corp

This certification is not the end, it’s a new beginning. We are committed to deepening our impact and continually improving. Our next initiatives include:

• Integrating carbon monitoring across all operations.
• Measuring and reducing the carbon footprint of our training programmes, including practical offsetting strategies.
• Sharing knowledge and influencing change through industry events, publications, and community partnerships.

We believe sustainability is a shared journey. Whether you’re a client, partner, or fellow advocate for ethical business, we’d love to hear from you.
