Barrington is proud to have earned B Corp certification. As one of a select few Nova Scotia companies to achieve this prestigious designation, Barrington sets a precedent for responsible business leadership in the region.

B Corp Certification is a designation 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. In order to achieve certification, a company must:  

• Demonstrate high social and environmental performance by achieving a B Impact Assessment score of 80 or above and passing our risk review. Multinational corporations must also meet baseline requirement standards.  
• Make a legal commitment by changing their corporate governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders, not just shareholders, and achieve benefit corporation status if available in their jurisdiction.  
• Exhibit transparency by allowing information about their performance measured against B Lab’s standards to be publicly available on their B Corp profile on B Lab’s website.

At Barrington, B Corp values permeate every aspect of operations, guiding decision-making processes and client engagements alike. From fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace to engaging in meaningful community projects, the company demonstrates its commitment to making a positive impact in the community every day. We work with our employees to support opportunities to give back to our community through volunteer work and donations to organizations that our employees identify. 

B Corp certification brings tangible benefits to Barrington’s clients, providing assurance that our company adheres to the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and accountability.

In addition, Barrington’s B Corp certification contributes to the Nova Scotia business ecosystem by showcasing the region’s capacity for innovation and sustainable growth. As a leader in responsible business practices, Barrington can help inspire other local companies to follow suit, creating a ripple effect of positive change throughout the community.
