We are a certified B Corporation®

What is a certified B Corporation®?

A certified B Corp® is a  businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.

Certified B Corporations® (or ‘B Corps™’) represent a global movement whose certification program requires companies to consider the impact of their decisions on workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment. More than 3,500 companies enjoy B Corp™ status worldwide, across 150 industries and 74 countries. For Canadian Certified B Corporations®, dedication to making deep and durable community impacts is required to be ‘baked in’ to their legal articles of incorporation.

Humanity Financial is the first accounting firm in western Canada to hold this certification, and only the second in the country.

Humanity achieves this standard by:

The firm also positions itself as a ‘teaching professional’, offering free resources and workshops on our web site, engaging in community workshops on topics related to non-profit financial management and governance, and the development of an intensive Certified Non-Profit Accounting Professional (CNAP) program.

We care greatly about building strong communities that are financially stable – thriving, not just surviving!

After launching Humanity Financial in 2008, Gordon and Megan Holley shifted focus to serving Canadian social purpose organizations in 2013. Supporting more than 70 impactful social purpose organizations including many diverse and well-known charities and non-profits, with a dedication in supporting BC First Nations.

Gordon Holley, Co-founder and CEO of Humanity, ‘Certifying as a B Corporation is a natural extension of Humanity Financial’s business practices, which are expressive of appreciating and valuing the social, environmental, and cultural impacts that our clients exist to achieve. We hope that in the very near future, B Corps™ will become the new normal: that all businesses will operate within an intentional framework of doing business by doing good.’

Humanity Financial is doing our part in accelerating a global shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy. We are Finance and Governance experts who not only believe, but advocate for more than just profits.
