We are delighted to share our second Impact Report as a certified B Corp. It’s been such a privilege to be part of the B Corp community this year and this report highlights the work of continuous improvement over the last year and our continued commitment to business as a force for good.
As a certified B Corp, we have committed to reporting on our impact annually, providing full transparency around how we operate as a business and our dedication to sustainable development, ethical business practices, and community engagement. This report covers our financial year 2024-25.
Key highlights of the year include:
In 2023, Joelson was one of the first commercial law firms in the UK to receive B Corp certification, joining a growing group of companies reinventing the objectives of business by pursuing purpose as well as profit. The mission for Joelson to become a B Corp was spearheaded by one of our Managing Partners, Phil Hails-Smith, who was initially inspired when helping innocent with their B Corp certification in 2018.
Phil Hails-Smith, Managing Partner at Joelson, says:
“Two years on since certifying as a B Corp we are busy getting on with the meaningful work of engagement, measuring our impact and assessing how we improve and drive further impact. While this doesn’t necessarily show up as key milestones or achievements it’s incredibly gratifying to see that some of the foundational work is very much paying off.
We have spent much of 2024 and the early part of 2025 with our B Keepers working on significant improvement projects to enhance our impact at all levels. As the new B Corp Standards were formally announced in late April 2025, we’ve taken some time to evaluate our re-certification progress to ensure that our impact credentials continue to match and hopefully exceed the evolving standards.”
