Octave Gains B Corp Certification
Octave joins the movement of world-leading companies turning business into a force for good. What B Corp certification means for the agency and the work they do.
Octave is now officially a B Corp. The certification proves their commitment to creating a healthy work life for their team and shows clients they mean business about delivering greatness without selling any souls.
More Than a Badge
B Corp certification is grounded in rigorous social and environmental performance standards. For Octave, it's another way to live their definition of positive impact: creating beautiful, intuitive digital experiences with organizations on important missions—but recognizing that no mission is more important than improving the wellbeing of the planet and people on it.
Working toward B Corp certification pushed Octave to expand their view of who they're here for. They care deeply about their team, who spend their days building their careers at the agency. Team members had an important voice in how the agency creates impact and develops effective policies.
Thinking Beyond Shareholders
The B Corp evaluation process asks organizations to consider the stakes beyond shareholders. It's a noticeable shift: committing to shareholders and seeing all of the environment and society as stakeholders. It takes real reflection and energy.
The process reminded Octave that responding to context doesn't stop at the edges of a client's aims, their customer's needs, or their position in the market. All these factors are connected, woven into the fabric of how the agency moves through the world as people.
Being a B Corp means the world to Octave. And it means the world will be better through them doing what they love to do.
