Bellevie Care Achieves B Corp Certification: Elevating Homecare Standards

We’re thrilled to announce a significant achievement: BelleVie Care has officially earned our B Corp Certification! This achievement represents a major step forward in our dedication to providing compassionate and sustainable care at home.

As a B Corp, we’re not just about business as usual – we are wholeheartedly committed to upholding the highest standards of social responsibility. While it’s not a secret that ethical practices have always been at the core of our beliefs, this certification serves as a powerful reinforcement of our pledge to make a positive impact. And underpins our commitment to reinvent the future of care.

What is a B Corp?

B Corporations are a growing group of companies who are reinventing business, by pursuing purpose as well as profit. As a B Corp in the homecare sector, we’re not just in it for the bottom line. We’re all about purpose-driven business, putting our community, colleagues, and society front and centre. This certification isn’t just a badge; it’s a testament to our deep-rooted belief in making a positive impact on the lives of those we support and the wider community.

The Path to Certification

There are currently 2000 companies in the UK with B Corp certification – Becoming a B Corp Certified company is a rigorous journey, with stringent assessments ensuring accountability and transparency across all aspects of operations – with only 3% of applicants managing to achieve certification. 

‘BelleVie has always been about doing the right thing for people, both those providing and receiving care. Our vision is for everyone in the care ecosystem to be valued and supported. The B Corp movement believes in the same things as us, in that we both want to use business for good. It was a natural step for us to cement our commitment to positive impact by certifying as B Corp. The process was rigorous! but it’s great validation of our ways of working to receive this certification. We’re looking forward to learning from others in the B Corp community.’
