Hear from our people

“What a milestone year it has been at BIP UK.  Achieving B Corp certification with a score of 94.3 points was definitely a highlight, but we know this is just the beginning.

“Every day I am proud to be a part of this journey and I am motivated by the impact we can make on our people, clients, suppliers, and local communities in the year ahead.”

“Our people are our biggest asset. We empower them to give back, using their skills and enthusiasm to improve lives and communities.

“Giving back to communities is part of our DNA at BIP. And it’s an integral part of what makes us a B Corp organisation.”

“At BIP, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We are proactive in creating a culture where everyone is welcome and able to thrive.

“Inclusivity, equity and equality are priorities for us and we have further to go. We offer support and resources. We learn together and individually and we aim to create a space for honest and open communications.”

We are members of the UN Global Compact.  As a participant we are committed to aligning strategies and operations with their ten principles and take actions to advance broader societal goals, particularly the Sustainable Development Goals.
