Mr Macdonald said: “B Corp is the sustainability gold standard, so we were extremely proud to be awarded B Corp status earlier this year. To be named as a ‘Best for the World’ is the icing on the cake.

“We’re not like other financial advisers. We’re leading at the forefront of financial change, helping people to align their money with their morals and changing perspectives about finance. Becoming a B Corp is an important part of ‘walking the talk’ - it shows people that we are serious about sustainability.

“Many companies are guilty of ‘greenwashing’, misleading people by labelling their services and products as ‘ethical’ or ‘green’ as a marketing tactic. The B Corp badge offers consumers a way of easily recognising businesses who are as ethical and purpose-driven as they say they are.
