B Corp Empower has been a certified B Corp since 2022! Re-certifying in 2025, we achieved a 17% increase in our B Impact score, from 105.2 to 123.5. This improvement reflects our commitment to using business as a force for good and demonstrates the progress we’ve made in creating positive social and environmental impact. When we first started Empower in 2014, our aim was to create an environment where people could thrive and create their best work. We aimed to create a business guided by deep care, and a belief that profit and a strong values system are not mutually exclusive. That’s why our core values are central to everything we do: People-centred: We are kind, generous, inclusive and human. Driven: We are ambitious, professional and take initiative. Ethical: We are trustworthy, transparent and fair. As we’ve written about previously in our “What are B Corps?” guide, working towards becoming a B Corp would give us a validation for the type of agency we want to be – one that is socially, ethically and environmentally engaged. Fast forward to today, we’re delighted to announce that Empower is now a re-certified B Corp! Certified B Corps are businesses that meet the highest social, environmental and transparency standards. Becoming a B Corp means we’re joining a global community of over 5,000 businesses and leaders worldwide with a shared belief that business can be a benefit for the world and for the people who live in it. We are happy to have re-certifying in 2025, achieving a 17% increase in our B Impact score, from 105.2 to 123.5. You can get the details of our B Impact Assessment scores on our B Corp profile page. For Empower, becoming a B Corp is a real marker of our mission to create a positive and meaningful impact in the world. As a small agency, it can be difficult to implement the changes you want to see. That’s why we’re so excited to be part of the UK B Corp Community and to have the opportunity to collaborate and learn from other inspiring companies who are also B Corps. “Being a B Corp means we’re held accountable to the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and legal accountability. We use B Corp as a framework that guides the decisions we make, from how we support our team to the clients we choose to work with. With a score of 123.5, we’re performing significantly above the median score of 50.9 for ordinary businesses, demonstrating our genuine commitment to creating positive change. – Jaz Cummins & Ben Matthews, Empower’s Co-founders Our recertification journey: Reflection and growth The recertification process provided us with a valuable opportunity to reflect on our progress since becoming a B Corp in 2022. It allowed us to assess our impact honestly, celebrate our achievements, and identify areas where we can do even better. Our 17% score increase didn’t happen overnight. It represents sustained effort across our three core pillars: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI), Mental Health, and Sustainability. These pillars continue to guide our decision-making and shape how we operate as an agency committed to positive impact. You can read more about our journey in our 2023 Impact Report and our 2024 Impact Report, and see more about our profile on our B Corp profile page. We’re proud to be part of this movement and look forward to what comes next, both for Empower and for the broader community of purpose-driven businesses working to create a more equitable and sustainable future. Our 17% score increase represents significant progress, but it’s not the finish line. B Corp recertification reminds us that creating positive impact is an ongoing journey of learning, improving, and evolving. As we continue to grow as an agency, we remain committed to the principles that earned us our B Corp certification: putting people and planet alongside profit, measuring what matters, and using our skills and expertise to help causes create the change they want to see in the world. We’re excited to continue this journey and grateful to our team, clients, and the entire B Corp community for their support in helping us achieve this milestone.
