Zenith and Chant West earn B Corp Certification

Zenith Investment Partners and Chant West have been certified as a B Corporation by global non-profit organisation, B Lab, which recognises high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.

In order to achieve B Corp certification, companies need to meet B Lab criteria for their practices across five categories: governance, workers, community, environment and customers.

The recognition comes as a testament that a given company has become ‘more socially and environmentally responsible’.

Zenith head of responsible investment and sustainability, Dugald Higgins, said that Zenith and Chant West have joined a global business community working collectively for systemic economic change, and that to continue this work, it must meet rising standards for social and environmental performance.

“As a B Corp, Zenith and Chant West have pledged their commitment to considering the interests of all stakeholders across staff, customers, communities and the environment,” he said.

“We recognise that our certification doesn’t mean we are perfect, but by committing to operate under this framework, we are beginning our journey.”
