L&C Mortgages has gained its B Corp certification.

B Corp Certification is granted by B Lab after an evaluation of a company’s performance across five areas: governance, workers, community, environment, and customers.

In its first assessment, L&C achieved a B Impact score of 87.4 to surpass the minimum necessary score of 80 required to achieve certification.

L&C chief executive officer Mark Harrington says: “Becoming a certified B Corp is a proud moment for L&C, underlining that we are a business that puts people, planet and purpose first.”

“Achieving certification is certainly a major milestone but only represents the beginning of our commitment to ongoing improvement.”

Earlier this month, L&C Mortgages announced it had adopted the One Mortgage System’s customer relationship management solution.
