At Advanced Secure Technologies, we pride ourselves on our company ethos as much as the services we provide.
We have always taken our social and environmental responsibilities seriously, and we strive to conduct our business ethically and sustainably.
That is why we are working hard to attain B Corp certification from B Lab UK.
About B Corp Certification
B Lab is a non-profit network transforming the global economy with a mission to inspire and enable people to use business as a force for good.
Certified B Corporations, or B Corps, are companies verified by B Lab to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
The B Corp Community is a global movement of businesses that provide leadership by demonstrating their commitment to people and the planet.
According to B Lab, there are currently more than 8,500 B Corps in 97 countries, covering 162 industries.

We have just started on our path toward B Corp certification, during which we will be externally assessed by B Lab UK against a list of performance criteria, covering everything from employee benefits to our supply chain.
The comprehensive and rigorous process could take several months, but we are aiming to achieve B Corp certification before the end of the calendar year.
Ben Eagle, Advanced Secure’s Head of People, said:
“The principles of how we operate already align to the ethos and many of the practices expected of a B Corp company.
Our aim is to use it as a framework for continual improvement, during which many of the projects we will undertake will provide excellent opportunities for team members that might not normally work together to collaborate and share ideas.
Gaining B Corp certification will help us demonstrate, with evidence, our ethos to do things in the right way for our employees and the communities in which we operate.”
B Lab says businesses that have become B Corps have seen excellent results, from more committed and motivated employees and increased customer loyalty to higher levels of innovation and market leadership.
For Advanced Secure Technologies, gaining B Corp status will not be the end of a process, but a continuation of an ongoing improvement journey.
