A BASINGSTOKE marketing firm’s commitment to being a force for good has reached an exciting milestone by achieving Certified B Corp status.

The Brevity Marketing team has received the certificate which represents that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials.

As part of the team's mission to foster community engagement and promote sustainable practices, Brevity hosts "People Planet Pint" events in Basingstoke and Worthing, West Sussex, where it also has an office.

These events provide a platform for like-minded individuals to connect, exchange ideas, and collectively work towards building a better, kinder world.

Kaia Vincent, director of Brevity, said: “Becoming a Certified B Corp was just the beginning for us. It highlights our commitment to making a positive impact on the world.

“But it doesn't stop there. It's about showing up with integrity every single day, reflecting our authentic values, vision, mission, and purpose in everything we do."

As part of Brevity’s ongoing commitment to being a force for good, the team is allowed two paid volunteering days each a year.

The first for 2023 was a beach clean in Bournemouth where the team’s biggest find was shattered and tiny balls of plastic.

Kaia added: “It certainly made us even more aware of how important it is not just to recycle plastic waste but to reduce usage.”

Every member of the team can take part in a monthly sustainability challenge, ranging from a meal made out of leftovers each week to more considerate buying habits. Every completed task offsets an employees’ carbon footprint for that month.

Kaia contined: “Our commitment as a champion of change goes beyond words. It's a mindset that drives us to be the change we wish to see in the world.

“Our dedication benefits not only our company but also our community and the environment, setting a new standard for corporate responsibility.”
