Sustainability
In 2024, we proudly achieved B Corp certification by demonstrating a high level of social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability.
What is a B Corp?
Certified B Corporations, or B Corps, are companies that are verified by B Lab to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
The B stands for ‘benefit for all’. B Corps are committed to balancing purpose and profit and forming a movement to transform the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet. The B Corp certification is globally recognised. By achieving a B Corp certification we have enshrined in our company constitution a commitment to do good for the planet, our people and our clients.

The B Corp certification is a mark of trust and proof that we're using our business as a force for good and balancing people, planet and profit. It allows us, our employees and clients to benchmark Kiandra against other ethical and sustainable peers.
We decided that the future of Kiandra needed to include a commitment to all our stakeholders, both current and future. These include our employees and their families, clients, partners, the people they serve, and our planet. We believe that good companies are those that contribute more to society than they take. B Corp certification is helping us live up to that ideal.
B Corp certification is a way for clients to instantly recognise that the organisations they work with are acting as a force for good. This certification signifies that you can trust that the organisation meets high standards for social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. You will be supporting a growing movement of 750+ Certified B Corporations in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
From our Directors
As we enter our 30th year, I reflect that we’ve had decisions to make on our journey that can have trade-offs between financial gain, people, communities, and the planet. We've always worked hard to make the right decision in alignment with our values. B Corp reflects these values, and therefore it was an easy decision to work to become B Corp certified.”
Martin Cooperwaite | Co-Founder & Director
“Kiandra is thrilled to announce that we’ve achieved B Corp certification! This milestone highlights our commitment to balancing purpose and profit, and it’s a proud moment for our team. While we celebrate this achievement, we see it as a starting point to continue building a business that creates positive impact in meaningful ways.”
