Helping You Navigate B Corp Certification
We’re pleased to announce that Dr. Niki Bould, our Sr. Sustainability, Food, and Waste Specialist is now a trained B Consultant, further enhancing our ability to support organisations through the B Corp certification process.
B Corp certification is a rigorous, third-party assessment that verifies a company’s entire social and environmental performance. It’s about much more than a badge - it’s a commitment to balancing profit with purpose and being accountable for the impact a business has on people and the planet.
Becoming a Certified B Consultant is no small feat. Niki completed the B Lab AANZ training and demonstrated extensive knowledge of the B Impact Assessment, improvement planning, and verification processes. Her certification recognises her ability to guide businesses through every step - from understanding and measuring impact, to implementing improvements that meet B Lab’s evolving standards.
Earlier this year, we also welcomed Devon Richardson to the Whirika team. While not certified under the B Consultant programme, Devon has extensive experience guiding all kinds of organisations through the B Corp certification journey, managing the certification process for several companies in both the United States and Aotearoa before joining Whirika.
Whether you’re exploring B Corp certification for the first time or seeking guidance on the latest standards, we’ve got a team that can support you, and we’d love to help.
