ENGEO Australia recognised as a 2022 Best For The World™ for exceptional impact on its Workers

PRESS RELEASE

July 15, 2022 (Maroochydore, Sunshine Coast) – ENGEO, the world’s leading geoscience engineering firm, has been named a 2022 Best for the World™ B Corp™ in recognition of its exceptional positive impact on its Workers. Best for the World is a distinction granted by B Lab to Certified B Corporations (B Corps) whose verified B Impact Scores in the five impact areas evaluated in the B Impact Assessment — community, customers, environment, governance, and workers — rank in the top 5% of all B Corps in their corresponding size group.

 

ENGEO earned this honor because of initiatives such as Employee Engagement and Satisfaction, Career Development, Health, Wellness, and Safety.

 

“ENGEO Australia is thrilled and humbled to have been nominated for this year’s Best for the World awards.  To be recognised in the area of our people, culture, and work place environment makes us extremely proud, and it is this strong sense of team culture that enables our people to grow beyond what they thought was possible, working with authentic passion and serving our clients to the very highest standards,” says Guy Cassidy, CEO of ENGEO Australia and New Zealand operations.

 

Every year, Best for the World recognizes the top-performing B Corps creating the greatest positive impact through their businesses. More than a badge of honor, Best for the World provides an opportunity for recognised companies to share knowledge, learnings, and best practices with the B Corp community and businesses outside of the community to encourage innovation and transformation across the business sector. The full lists are available at bcorporation.net.

 

The Best for the World recognition is administered by B Lab, the global nonprofit network that certifies and mobilizes B Corps, which are businesses that meet high standards of positive social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. Today, there are more than 5,000 B Corps across 80 countries and 155 industries, unified by one common goal: building an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economic system.

 

“Each Best for the World edition is an opportunity to raise the bar for how businesses can and should operate to create real and lasting positive impact for their workers, customers, communities, and the environment,” said Dan Osusky, Head of Standards and Insights at B Lab Global. “While no company is perfect and even the best companies can and should continue to strive to improve, the B Corps recognised as Best for the World can provide us all — standards setters, B Corps, non B Corps, and sustainability advocates — with inspiration on what true leadership in business can look like to make progress on addressing our current global challenges.”

 

B Corp Certification doesn’t just evaluate a product or service, it assesses the overall social and environmental impact of the company that stands behind it. To achieve B Corp Certification, a company must meet a score of at least 80 points on the B Impact Assessment, an evaluation of a company’s positive impact, and pass a risk review, an evaluation of a company’s negative impact; change their corporate governance structure to be accountable to all stakeholders, not just shareholders; and exhibit transparency by allowing information about their B Corp Certification performance to be publicly available on their B Corp profile on B Lab’s website.
