Press release

7th August 2025

Mackie Myers is delighted to announce its certification as a B CorporationTM (or B Corp), joining a growing movement of companies that are reinventing business for the benefit of people and planet. Verified by B Lab, the not-for-profit behind the B Corp movement, the achievement demonstrates that Mackie Myers meets high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability, alongside a commitment to goals beyond shareholder value.

The B Corp Certification assesses the entirety of a business’ operations and covers impact areas related to practices around governance, workers, community, the environment and customers. The certification process is rigorous, with companies required to provide evidence on performance while legally embedding their commitment to purpose as well as profit in their company articles.

Mackie Myers scored 94.9 on their B Impact Assessment, compared to the recruitment industry’s average certification score of 80.8.

Owen Myers, Co-Founder and CEO of Mackie Myers, said:

“When we started Mackie Myers, we were passionate about creating a company that had a broader impact on our ecosystem than simply results and profitability. We wanted to become B Corp certified because the movement is a strong articulation of our values, as we firmly believe that business should be a driver of positive change for people and planet. After a rigorous assessment process, this certification validates the work we have done to build a responsible, ethical, and sustainable company, and challenges us to keep improving.”

Chris Turner, executive director of B Lab UK, added:

“We are pleased to have B Corps of all shapes and sizes as part of our community — from startups to multinationals and across many different industries. Business is a powerful force and B Corps demonstrate that positive impact is possible in any sector. Welcoming Mackie Myers is an exciting moment for the recruitment industry. B Lab UK and the rest of the B Corp community are really pleased that Mackie Myers is paving the way for a new way of doing things.”

Mackie Myers is now part of a growing community of over 9,700 businesses globally that have certified as B Corps. The B Corp community in the UK is one of the largest and fastest-growing in the world, with over 2,500 companies spanning a range of different industries and sizes.
