Ground Control re-certified as a B Corp

Continuing as a business that’s a force for good

Ground Control is proud to announce that we have officially recertified as a B Corp and will hold the certification for a further three years, continuing our legacy as one of the first 1000 companies in the UK to be a certified B Corporation.

B Corp certification assesses the complete business operations, including how businesses treat their people, how they support communities, their environmental actions and more.

Achieving B Corp Certification - A Rigorous Process

The certification and recertification are tough processes. This is to ensure that only companies that meet B Corp's high business, ethical and social standards can use the logo. The process involves evidencing business impact across governance, pay and benefits, wellbeing, carbon footprint, inclusion, and supply chain.

Why It Matters

External verification keeps businesses accountable and pushes them to keep improving. B Corp provides a globally recognised framework to build a responsible, resilient business where profit never comes at the expense of people, communities or the planet. It also allows Ground Control to stand alongside thousands of purpose-led organisations, including The Body Shop, Ben & Jerry’s, and Innocent, while showing a collective commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals through our certification.

At Ground Control, we have demonstrated this commitment by:

Our Science-Based Target (SBTi) approach to net zero
Driving modern slavery standards in the industry
Embedding Evercare, our CSR arm, in our business

Jason Knights, CEO, shared why Ground Control are standing up as part of the B Corp movement:

For Ground Control, it’s a framework that helps us run a stronger, more resilient, more responsible business. It gives us a clear north star: profit matters, of course, but not at the expense of our people, our communities, or the planet. This balance is also written into our company articles a legal commitment we’ve chosen to make. Not many companies do that.
