We are a Certified B Corporation ™

Balancing Purpose and Profit.

In 2019, ADLIB joined a growing global community of B Corps. From the outset, this was our starting point to evolve, a framework that would sharpen our focus and hold us accountable to building a business that truly balanced profit and purpose.

Our starting point was a score of 82.8. In 2020 ADLIB became the world’s first 100% employee-owned B Corp recruitment business globally.

In 2023 we received a recertification score of 130.3. The highest ranking recruitment company, globally. An immensely proud moment in ADLIB history.

FOR OUR PLANET

  • As a B2B service provider, we store an increasing amount of customer and candidate data. Given our learnings from within the Green Tech South West community, we are increasingly aware that the life cycle of storing, processing, and transmitting digital information is an area that we need to pay significant attention to.
  • Beyond planting trees. We offset our annual emissions via a carefully selected range of projects within developing countries, that have strong additional benefits beyond reducing carbon emissions. These include health benefits, saving low-income families money and reducing deforestation in a village in Africa. All of the projects are certified to the Gold Standard and include efficient household cooking stoves and clean drinking water projects.
  • 2022 Carbon Reporting. 16.2+ tonnes offset.
  • E-waste. Our tech is recycled and disposed of responsibly.
  • Where do we go next? The introduction of a data storage strategy across our CRM, website and internal documents, email management systems to significantly reduce our storage footprint.

When designing this website, keeping carbon emissions to a minimum has been a constant consideration along the way, for every page. We kept page weight to a minimum, opted for lean functional simplicity rather than fancy polluting features.
