Millennium Care Group has achieved B Corp accreditation, which holds organisations to the highest social and environmental standards.
A B Corporation (B Corp) is a for-profit company that has achieved certification which covers five key areas of impact, including Governance, Workers, Environment, Community, and Customers, with organisations required to reach a benchmark score. Following a rigorous verification process, the Millennium Care Group became B Corp certified by B Lab – the not-for-profit behind the B Corp movement.
Points are achieved by providing evidence of responsible practice, whether that be social or environmental. Millennium Care scored 81.2 points – 59 per cent higher than those attempting accreditation for the first time.
Millennium Care MD Omair Haider said: “As a B Corp, we’re now part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact. As one of, or potentially the first care home provider to achieve the certification, we hope that we can act as a driver for positive change in our industry.
“Although we’re proud of our achievement, the B Impact Assessment that determined Millennium’s final score has highlighted key areas we need to improve to best support our residents, staff and communities.
“As an organisation, we want to champion other providers within our industry to join the B Corp movement as we build a better future, today.”
