Denver law firm rededicates itself to social, environmental standards
(Denver, Colo., May 18, 2016) - In January, 2014 Denver law firm Moye White LLP announced that it was a Certified B Corporation. The prestigious designation is awarded to companies that use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems and meet higher standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
Now Moye White has announced that the firm has recertified as a B Corp: In order to maintain this designation a company must update its assessment every 2 years, provide additional documentation to verify its answers, and achieve at least 80 out of 200 available points. This process ensures that companies who become certified B Corporations continue to engage in a high level of impact with their stakeholders, even as the business grows or changes. The B Impact Assessment is updated every two years, so recertification also gives companies the opportunity to set improvement goals against the most-up-to-date standards, and benchmark their performance over time.
Moye White Managing Partner Tom List said, “With the firm’s commitment to community, the environment and the highest ethical standards, we at Moye White are extremely proud to remain a certified B Corporation and we look forward to welcoming many more companies into the community.”
Moye White was the first Denver law firm to achieve B Corp certification and is one of only a handful of law firms certified nationally. The firm is part of a B Corp community that includes well known local companies such as New Belgium, Door to Door Organics, and Bhakti Chai and national icons like Ben & Jerry’s.
