VET.CT has announced the recognition of its efforts to exist as a force for good through achieving Benefit Corporation (B Corp) certification. Believed to be the first global veterinary services provider with this achievement, the company hopes this will springboard its positive impact on the veterinary industry; supporting veterinary teams to deliver great care, campaigning for responsible practice and governance, working sustainably, and being the best employer it can be.
What is B Corp?
B Corp Certification is a designation that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency holistically across the organisation through a robust review process. It is a recognition that VET.CT has demonstrated high social and environmental performance, embedding a legal commitment of accountability to all its stakeholders, from its people and clients to its animal patients.
Victoria Johnson, Founder and CEO, explains why achieving B Corp certification has been such an important focus for the company, “We are delighted to be recognised as a company that exists as a force for good across global, cross-industry standards. It has always been core to everything we do, with our key value of doing the right thing - prioritising quality and excellence in our services, and always acting with integrity and kindness. This marks a significant step in cementing this commitment throughout the company, now and in the future.”
Good Veterinary Business
VET.CT now joins the B Corp community of businesses sharing best practices on a journey of continuous improvement. Victoria continued, “The veterinary industry is full of the most incredible people - thoughtful, intelligent, caring and dedicated to the health and welfare of animals. At a time when the industry is facing significant challenges from many angles, this is a real celebration of the hard work and determination of our own team and the clients we support. It is also our pledge to continue leading by example as a good veterinary business, holding ourselves accountable and always striving to improve our impact on the lives of people and animals. We wholeheartedly encourage other veterinary companies to explore the B Corp journey and the positive potential impacts for their business, the wider industry and beyond.”
