Boston – Bergmeyer announced its certification as a B Corporation (B Corp). B Lab is the not-for-profit behind the B Corp movement, with a mission to transform the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet.
“The decision to pursue B Corp Certification embodies Bergmeyer’s mindset of continuous improvement for the benefit of our people, our clients, the industries we work with, and the communities we serve,” said Bergmeyer CEO, Rachel Zsembery. “Bergmeyer is proud to join the B Corp community which is connected through shared values of practicing transparency, equity, and sustainability.”
The firm achieved an overall score of 101.8 points in the B Impact Assessment, exceeding the minimum requirement of 80 points necessary for certification. Bergmeyer demonstrated exceptional performance in Workers (36.2 points), Governance (21.3 points), and Community (24.8 points) – scoring significantly higher than industry, size, and geographic benchmarks in these key impact areas.
“Becoming a B Corp demonstrates Bergmeyer’s commitment not only to continuous improvement, but also our dedication as a business to living out the triple bottom line: that in all of our actions and decisions, we must consider the impact on our communities and the planet, and not just on profit,” said Peter Nobile, Bergmeyer’s director of corporate social responsibility.
Representatives of the firm say the certification affirms Bergmeyer’s mission to ‘B the Change,’ using its organizational resources to strengthen communities, advance equity and social justice, address the climate crisis, and create opportunities for young people to explore careers in design.
