World Mental Health Day 2024: Prioritising our Mental Health at BaseKit. We all know that work can sometimes be demanding, and finding the right balance between our responsibilities and personal well-being can be challenging. As a team, at BaseKit, we are committed to looking out for one another and want to ensure that mental health is as important as anything else we focus on.
Walk in my shoes with Caring in Bristol The BaseKit team recently participated in a ‘Walk in my shoes’ initiative with our charity of the year, Caring in Bristol. Inspired by the charity’s mission – to create a city empowered to solve homelessness – our team walked the streets of Bristol with Caring in Bristol’s Storytelling Coordinator Alv Hirst to discuss, learn and break down misconceptions about the causes and situation of homelessness in our local Bristol community.
In May this year, BaseKit received its B Corp accreditation, joining over 6,000 companies that meet the highest standards of environmental and social responsibility around the world. The stringent road to accreditation quickly highlighted the areas where BaseKit could improve its green credentials, covering every element of our environmental and social practices, not just their carbon footprint. To improve our impact, our team made changes to our technology operations and the BaseKit Platform. This has had an impact on the environment, our team, our partners and the customers they serve with our software.
BaseKit certifies as a B Corporation BaseKit is incredibly excited and proud to officially announce we are now accredited as a B Corporation (B Corp) company, joining a movement of thousands of companies globally reinventing business by pursuing purpose as well as profit. BaseKit has been certified by B Lab, the not-for-profit behind the B Corp movement, as having met rigorous social and environmental standards which represent its commitment to goals outside of shareholder profit. “We are thrilled to have achieved our B Corp certification. We are on a mission to build a business that has a positive impact on people and the planet, and the certification reflects our fantastic team’s ongoing commitment to this. We will continue to embed B Corp’s principles across the business, giving careful consideration to the social and environmental issues of every decision we make.” BaseKit CEO, Simon Best
