Opus is proud to announce that we are now a Certified B Corporation, marking an important milestone in our continued growth.
The B Corp certification recognises businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, governance and accountability. It reflects a commitment to balancing commercial success with a broader responsibility to people, communities and the environment.
For Opus, this achievement formalises an approach that has been steadily taking shape across the business for some time. Since beginning our official B Corp journey in 2023, the business has continued to strengthen the way it operates, building on its commitment to responsible, sustainable and people-focused growth.
“Achieving B Corp certification is a significant milestone for Opus and one that reflects the kind of business we are committed to building. Since beginning our official B Corp journey in 2023, we have continued to strengthen our approach across the business, with a clear focus on balancing commercial success with responsibility to our people, our communities and the environment. This certification is important because it formalises much of the work already happening across Opus every day. It also gives us a clear framework to keep improving, to stay accountable, and to make sure we continue growing in a responsible and sustainable way. Most importantly, this achievement reflects our people. The standards behind B Corp are brought to life through the way our teams work, support one another, and represent Opus every day.”

What is B Corp Certification?
Becoming a Certified B Corporation is a meaningful demonstration of how a business operates in practice, requiring it to meet rigorous standards across social and environmental performance, governance and accountability. It looks at the way a company is run, how it supports its people, how it works with customers and partners, how it manages its environmental impact, and the role it plays in the wider community.
It is a meaningful benchmark because it looks across the whole business, not just one area and reflects a long-term commitment, requiring businesses to continue improving and to be reassessed over time.
For Opus, that makes this achievement both a proud moment and an important responsibility.
Why B Corp Certification matters to Opus
Opus’s journey towards B Corp certification has been shaped by a series of practical steps that reflect the kind of business we want to be and our core values. As part of that progress, we have achieved ISO 14001 to strengthen our approach to environmental management, introduced hybrid working, committed to electric-only company vehicles, developed a carbon offsetting plan with tree planting, become a Living Wage employer, and been recognised as Disability Confident Committed. We have also established our employee volunteering initiative creating more inclusive opportunities for our people to support the communities around them.
For Opus, B Corp certification matters because it brings these efforts together within a recognised framework, reinforcing our commitment to operating responsibly, growing sustainably and building a business that creates value not only for customers, but for people, communities and the environment too.

How Opus will build on its B Corp Certification
Opus will build on its B Corp certification by continuing to strengthen the way it operates, grows and creates positive impact.
