In a claimed industry-first, Fourwalls Group, the property marketing agency, has been recognised for its commitment to meet high standards of social and environmental performance.

The B Corp certification cements the business as a force for good, aligning the three P’s of people, planet and profit and has been set by B Lab, the non-profit organisation.

The process, which takes around a year, involved Fourwalls submitting in-depth evidence an third party assessments that address the entirety of their business’ operations covering five key impact areas of Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers. The accreditation lasts for three years.

Significant milestone

Owen Turgoose, CEO at Fourwalls Group (main image), commented: “Achieving B Corp certification is a significant milestone for our company. It wasn’t about earning a badge but embracing a framework to benchmark and improve our long-standing efforts to be a more sustainable business, a better employer, and a stronger partner in our community. I’m proud of how much we’ve already accomplished, while the process itself has made us an even better business.”

The property and built environment sector has received particular attention over the last decade in regards to sustainability and community impact, across both residential and commercial aspects, and Fourwalls’ commitment to ESG through its B Corp status signals this shift towards greater accountability and transparency.

Fourwalls was established in 1989 and offers a wide range of property marketing services including, photography, videography, floorplans, design and CGI and land and measured building surveys.
