Insightful Environments is now a certified B Corporation™

At IE, we’ve always believed that workplaces should be more than just functional. They should empower people to learn, collaborate, and thrive, and make a positive impact on communities and the planet. Today, we’re proud to share an important milestone that recognises this belief in action: Insightful Environments is now a Certified B Corporation™!

This certification represents a global movement of organisations using business as a force for good. For us, it also reflects a journey we’ve been on for many years, continuously strengthening the way we operate, serve our clients, and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable future of work.

A new chapter in our commitment to responsible business

Achieving B Corp status requires meeting some of the most rigorous standards for environmental stewardship, ethical governance and community impact. It’s a process that evaluates not just what an organisation does, but how it does it, from supply chain practices to team wellbeing, from carbon management to social value.

These principles have long been at the heart of how we design and deliver workplace environments, and now they are formally recognised within a respected, global framework.

“This milestone is more than an award; it represents our collective effort to meet rigorous standards of environmental stewardship, ethical governance, and community engagement.”

What B Corp™ certification means for our clients and partners

For organisations rethinking their workplaces, sustainability and social responsibility are no longer optional considerations: they are central to culture, talent attraction, and long-term performance. Becoming a B Corp™ strengthens our ability to support clients in this shift.

IE prioritises sustainable practices like EV use

Our certification reaffirms that:

• Sustainability is embedded in our process: From product selection and material choices to circularity strategies and end-of-life planning.
  
  
• Wellbeing comes first: Whether designing hybrid collaboration spaces, neurodiversity-inclusive environments, or flexible learning zones.
  
  
• We design with purpose: Helping organisations create workplaces that reflect their values and support their people.

As we move forward, we will continue to innovate with purpose, guided by an approach rooted in transparency, accountability and long-term impact.

A shared achievement powered by our team

One of the most important aspects of becoming a B Corp™ is that it cannot be achieved by a single individual or department. It requires contribution, belief, and commitment from everyone across the organisation.

“Earning B Corp™ status affirms that our values are not just words but guiding principles that shape how we operate, support one another, and serve our stakeholders.”

We are deeply grateful to every colleague who contributed to this achievement through their creativity, integrity, and dedication to doing things the right way.

Their work ensures that the environments we design not only look and perform beautifully, but also make a meaningful difference to people and the planet.

Looking ahead: Responsibility and opportunity

Becoming a B Corp™ is a milestone, but it’s also a responsibility.

It asks us to keep progressing, keep measuring our impact, and keep raising the bar.  As our leadership highlights,

“This certification challenges us to keep improving, to strengthen our social and environmental performance, and continue building a workplace we can all be proud of.”

Over the coming months, we will share more about our impact goals, our sustainability roadmap, and the initiatives that will support ongoing improvement across our business.

We see this as an exciting opportunity to collaborate more deeply with our clients, partners and community, and to contribute positively to the future of workplaces and learning environments across the UK.

Closing note

To our team, our clients, and our partners: thank you for being part of this journey. Your support continues to shape who we are and the impact we strive to make.

 “We look ahead to the responsibility it brings, and we are excited to continue this journey together. Thank you for your ongoing support and for helping us create meaningful change.”

We’re proud to join the global B Corp™ community, and we’re inspired to keep making a difference, one space at a time.
