We recently worked with Graham and Heather at eccountinc to help our Distillery achieve B Corp certification. We couldn't be happier with the results, achieving not just a pass but one of the highest scores in our category. Graham was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with a clear roadmap for meeting the full certification requirements. They were always available to answer our questions and provided invaluable guidance throughout the entire process. We had regular catchups to make sure things stayed on track. As a B Leader, they also had inside information on any delays that were occurring for reasons out of our control. Thanks to Graham and Heather's expertise and support, we were able to achieve our certification within the original planned timeframe. We highly recommend eccountinc to any company looking to become B Corp certified.
Joe McGirr The Boatyard Distillery Ltd- B Corp
Our founding team engaged and gained help from Graham Gillen in his capacity as a B Leader to complete the B Corporation assessment. Graham was able to successfully guide our team and myself to help support our efforts to collate the required evidence to back up each aspect of the assessment. Graham provided valuable feedback to our business around best practice as far as governance, mission statement clarity etc and to be able to sharpen and refine several aspects of our mission and policies to align better with our customers' needs. This has been extremely valuable to our business. Graham has a good understanding of the B Corp certification process, but also had judgement around what is a priority for a business at our somewhat earlier stage of growth. He was also able to provide resources and examples to help our business build our data set out to share all of the commendable areas around sustainability, safety, consumer, and governance that we have already embedded within our business but that needed highlighting appropriately.
