We are thrilled to announce our successful recertification as a B Corporation (B Corp) in Hong Kong. At PALO IT, a global digital innovation consultancy and software developer with 18 offices worldwide, including certified locations in Singapore, Thailand, Mexico, and France, we are actively pursuing B Corp certification for all our offices by 2030.
Our B Corp Recertification Journey
As the first technology company to attain certification in Hong Kong , we have elevated our certification score from 80.6 in 2020 to an impressive 87.3 in 2024, underscoring our unwavering dedication to the triple bottom line - people, profit, and planet. As a certified B Corp, we are legally mandated to weigh the impact of our decisions on workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment. The B Corp certification serves as a continuous standard that we are committed to upholding. With recertification mandated every three years, we are motivated to consistently enhance our efforts across these five impact areas. Our score enhancement was fuelled by pivotal initiatives that significantly enhanced community engagement and environmental stewardship.
"Anyone can 'talk the talk', it's another thing entirely to 'walk the talk.' Our B Corp certification sets us apart, guiding us in successfully transforming our organization. We've embedded this drive into our DNA. We're aiming for all 18 offices to be B Corp certified by 2030," said Fabrice Bayon, Managing Director Hong Kong, "With this renewed certification, I am confident that we will continue to uphold the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency."
This Way Forward
As a technology consultancy with a strong focus on impact, we occupy a unique market position at the confluence of two major trends – digital innovation and impact transformation. We strive to leverage technology as a positive force in everything we undertake, and our B Corp status mirrors our overarching purpose as a company. We are increasingly collaborating with clients on ventures that resonate with our values, collaborating to create a beneficial impact on the communities they serve and the world at large.
