Yesterday, 20 July 2022 I submitted AG Comms’ Business Impact Assessment (BIA) and we are now officially in the queue to becoming B Corp certified. This is such a big milestone for AG (and me personally), and I’m feeling pretty giddy about it!

From the beginning we wanted everyone in our business to have a say in how we drive our purpose forward. So when it came to choosing not-for-profits to include in our giving strategy, we involved everyone in the voting process. Not just our employees but our supply chain too.

Sustainability for businesses means so much more than recognising the impact we have on the environment. At AG, we are helping global matrix organisations build and support sustainability in its fullest sense. To include governance and responsible practice, by supporting employees, helping social mobility, and minimising impact for the communities our clients operate in.

It felt a bit surreal travelling to London to join over 300 coalition members and supporters for Better Business Day at Westminster last month. The Better Business Act (BBA) coalition is campaigning for a change in UK law which would make businesses prioritise people and the planet alongside profit – creating a triple bottom line.

On World Earth Day, AG is proud to join Business Declares and the fast-growing network of businesses who acknowledge the Climate and Ecological Emergency.

I can’t quite believe that Lynne and I have known each other for 20 years. We met working in corporate communications for a Financial Services Group. Things were so different back then. Leadership opportunities for women were limited and flexibility was non-existent.

When I started AG Comms over 12 years ago my purpose was driven by first-hand experience of how challenging it was to find flexible opportunities for women in the corporate world. Since then, I’ve created and grown a business with a model that benefits not just women, but everyone who needs and wants flexibility at work to support their life.
