Talk to an Inntel expert
We specialise in providing businesses with safe, affordable and sustainable corporate travel solutions. In 2024, we achieved B Corp status, making Inntel one of the first corporate travel management companies in the UK to achieve the certification. What is a B Corp? Read on to find out what it actually means in practice and why is this achievement so important to us.
A certified B Corporation, or B Corp, is a business that has been verified by B Lab – the global non-profit behind the certification – to meet the highest standards of social and environmental impact. B Corps prioritise people and the planet alongside profit, balancing business success with a commitment to do good. The ‘B’ in B Corp stands for ‘benefit for all,’ underscoring a focus on creating a positive impact on society and the environment.
To achieve B Corp certification, a company must pass the B Impact Assessment (BIA), a detailed evaluation that measures performance in five key areas: Governance, Workers, Customers, Community, and Environment. The assessment ensures that B Corps actively work to reduce their environmental footprint, support their workers, and engage with their local communities in a meaningful way.
B Corp certification is more than simply a badge of honour; it’s a commitment to continuous improvement. Like all B Corp businesses, we’ve amended our corporate governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders, not just shareholders. This means that in every decision we make – whether it’s choosing a new supplier or planning a client event – we consider the impact on our employees, customers, community, and the environment.
There is a global network of over 8,000 certified B Corporations, which means we’re connected with a community of like-minded companies, all working towards a shared goal of making the world a better place through the power of business.
Our valued fellow B Corp partners in the UK travel and events industry include Exclusive Collection, Greengage Solutions, and The Pig Hotels.
The B Corp logo represents more than just a certification – it’s a reflection of a company’s values and a commitment to operating in a way that benefits everyone. For our clients, this means partnering with a travel management company that actively works to improve its social and environmental impact while delivering exceptional service.
At Inntel, our values have always aligned with the B Corp ethos. We believe that a successful business thrives not only by maintaining financial health, but also through supporting its employees and protecting the environment. By embracing this people, planet, and profit framework, we ensure that our business not only grows but also makes a positive impact on the clients we serve, our community and the world around us.
In short, B Corp is a certification that signifies a commitment to ethical business practices. At Inntel, we’re proud to be part of this movement, helping to shape a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
