Our commitments
Saying you work for good is easy. Demonstrating it takes more than a mission statement.
These are the certifications, pledges and personal choices that hold us to the same standards we advocate for. They’re not badges we collect. They’re commitments that keep us both honest and publicly accountable.
Certifications
B CorporationTM
B Corp certification requires companies to meet rigorous verified standards across governance, workers, community, environment and customers. Achieving it takes serious work. Maintaining it takes more. We scored 113.5 points in our last assessment, well above the 80-point threshold. We're currently preparing for recertification later this year under the new standards.
1% for the Planet
1% for the Planet is a global network of businesses committed to donating one percent of annual revenue to environmental causes. Since joining we've donated a total of £8,500 to organisations including ClientEarth, Bright Young Futures and Flight Free UK, amongst others.
Memberships

The Better Business Network (BBN) is the UK’s inclusive community for purpose-driven businesses that want to make a real difference. Made for the World is a growth member of the network. Chris, our co-founder, hosts the Birmingham community, running monthly Better Business Breakfast meetups.
Design Declares
Design Declares is a global initiative through which designers and studios publicly acknowledge the climate and ecological emergency, and commit to taking meaningful action in response. We were early signatories. For us it’s a public statement that design has a responsibility, and that we intend to take ours seriously.
