It is our long-term goal to operate Kin + Carta in a more socially responsible way by giving equal consideration to people and planet as well as profit.
In line with our shared values to be deeply connected, always courageous, and instinctively compassionate, we are committed to using our organization as a force for good, by driving innovative and impactful behaviors throughout our specialisms, with our clients, and inside our communities.
In order to help us achieve our goal, we are using the internationally-renowned B Corp framework, with a view to all our specialisms being certified by the end of 2022.
The framework allows us to assess current performance and highlight areas to drive positive change, across five fundamental areas of our business.
Kin + Carta’s mission is to make the world work better. And this mission goes beyond our client work. It means we are committed to making the world a better place for future generations. Becoming a B corp proves that we are on the right track, but there is a lot more work ahead of us.
