Our B Corp Certification: A Journey of Commitment and Impact
December 13, 2024

At Julius Rutherfoord & Co, we are proud to have achieved B Corp certification, a significant milestone that has already sparked insightful conversations across our community. While the certification itself is an honour, we see it as so much more than an accolade. It is a testament to who we are and what we stand for as a company — and a call to action for the future.
Our Managing Director, Chris Jarvis, recently shared his thoughts on what this achievement means for JR&Co., and his words echo the heart of our mission:
“I’m very proud to announce that we are now a Certified B Corporation. This achievement recognises our commitment to the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility. As a B Corp, we carefully consider the impact of every decision we make, not just on our clients, but also on our teams, our communities, and the planet.”

Living our values
For JR&Co, becoming a B Corp is not a destination but a journey. The certification process challenged us to examine every aspect of our operations, from our environmental footprint to our relationships with staff, clients, and suppliers. It reinforced the importance of sustainability, ethical leadership, and creating positive impacts wherever we operate.
Chris highlighted that this ongoing commitment is what drives us: “We’re dedicated to providing exceptional service whilst positively contributing to society and the environment.”
What it means for our clients and team
For our clients, B Corp certification is a promise. It’s the assurance that JR&Co operates with integrity, transparency, and a focus on long-term value. We’re here to be more than just a service provider; we aim to be a trusted partner who shares your vision for a sustainable future.
For our team, this certification is a reflection of the culture we’ve built together. This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without our dedicated staff, who consistently bring passion and undivided attention to everything they do. Their efforts make a real difference, not just for our clients but for the broader community.
Looking ahead
While we celebrate this milestone, our focus is firmly on the future. The B Corp certification has given us a roadmap to continue improving and innovating. Watch this space for more updates as we take further steps to enhance sustainability, support our team, and positively impact the community.
As Chris puts it, “Together, we’re working towards a cleaner, more responsible future and I’m excited for what lies ahead.”
