Our place in the world
Proud to be a B Corp
At Widgit, we care about making a positive impact – both with people and the planet in mind. From monitoring our carbon footprint to giving back to the community, we’re proud to have achieved certified B Corp status.
Becoming a B Corp means we meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. It reflects our deep-rooted commitment to using our business as a force for good – not just in what we create, but in how we create it, who we work with, and the legacy we leave behind.
This is more than a badge of honour. It’s a promise to keep pushing for better – for our team, our customers, and the world around us.
What is a B Corp?
A B Corp, or Benefit Corporation, is a business that balances purpose and profit. Certified by the non-profit B Lab, B Corps are companies that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. Rather than focusing solely on making money, B Corps are legally required to make a positive impact on people, communities, and the planet. It’s a way of doing business that puts values at the heart of everything.
What B Corp means to us
Becoming a B Corp has been a shared journey – one that’s shaped how we work, what we value, and how we see our role in the world. Along the way, our team has played a key part in driving positive change. Here’s what some of them had to say about what the B Corp journey has meant to them.
“To me, B Corp is about taking responsibility for the long-term future of Widgit. I want Widgit to stay true to its values – well beyond my time here. B Corp isn’t just a certification; it’s a commitment to embedding those values into our legal structure and everyday processes. It holds us accountable and makes it hard to turn back, which is exactly the kind of lasting impact I want to have.”
– Cate Rae, CEO
“The B Corp journey has helped us turn our values into actions. It’s about being transparent, accountable, and constantly improving – our promise to leave the world better than we found it. We’ve always cared about doing the right thing, but B Corp gave us the tools to measure it and the courage to continue as a force for good.”
– Kiran Heer, Office and Events Manager
“Joining the B Corp community feels like a profound and meaningful step for Widgit. It’s a wonderful journey to be on, and we’ve loved connecting with fellow B Corps along the way. As an organisation built on integrity, kindness and quality, B Corp is a powerful extension of our shared goal to help make the world a better place, one small symbol at a time.”
