Certified B Corporation status, marking a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to responsible business and recognising its approach to creating value for its team, clients, community, and the environment alongside commercial success.
The B Corp certification provides independent validation of an ingrained culture that has been central to the business since it was started in 2018: that commercial success and positive impact should not be competing objectives.
The certification, awarded through B Lab’s rigorous assessment and independent verification process, means Cambridge MC has demonstrated that it meets defined standards of social, environmental, and governance performance.
Under B Lab’s strengthened 2026 standards, companies must now meet independently verified requirements across seven impact areas, including climate action, environmental stewardship, human rights, fair work, stakeholder governance, and other aspects of responsible business.
The new certification model also introduces a five-year cycle of ongoing improvement, commitment, and third-party oversight, rather than a one-off accreditation.
Cambridge MC – which commits to donating at least 10% of annual profits to charitable causes and at least 1% of time and expertise to purposeful pro-bono work – joins a global community of over 10,800 certified B Corporations, alongside organisations such as Danone, Patagonia, Guardian Media Group, Zen Internet, and innocent Drinks.
Tim Passingham, founder and executive chairman of Cambridge MC, said: “We are immensely proud to be recognised as a B Corp. We have always believed that a successful business has responsibilities beyond its shareholders, and B Corp gives us a rigorous framework against which we can clearly demonstrate that commitment.
“This isn’t about putting a badge on the business; it’s about accountability. A business needs to be commercially successful, but the way it achieves that success matters. Our purpose has always been to help our clients have a better impact on the world and, in many ways, we have always been a B Corp and more – so it’s great to finally have this external validation. Having this independently assessed provides added reassurance for our stakeholders that our commitment is more than just a statement of intent. It is recognition of the business we have built, as well as a commitment to the business we want to become – and the standards give us a framework to keep challenging ourselves, improving our impact, and making sure that growth continues to create value for our widening group of stakeholders.”
B Corp reinforces Cambridge MC’s commitment to sustainable, responsible growth as it continues to expand internationally across TMT, public sector & education, energy & utilities, finance, and industrial & manufacturing industries – as well as having particular relevance to its work with organisations undergoing major technological, economic, and infrastructure transformation.
Tim said: “As a consultancy, we help organisations facing some of the defining challenges of transitioning to a more digital, connected, and sustainable economy make decisions that can have significant consequences. We believe that responsible transformation requires organisations to consider not only what change can achieve commercially, but also its wider consequences for the community and the environment. So, it is important that we apply the same level of scrutiny to ourselves. B Corp gives us a recognised framework for doing that and a higher bar against which we can continue to improve.”
