Why Milford Specialist Recruitment Is On A Mission To Becoming a B Corp — And Why It Matters 🌱

By using sustainable sources of utilities we're on the right path to becoming B Corp Certified

At Milford Specialist Recruitment, our purpose goes beyond placing the right people in the right roles. We're here to shape a better future for Aotearoa and the planet — and that’s why we’re on a mission to become a Certified B Corporation.

What Is a B Corp?

Certified B Corporations, or B Corps, are businesses that meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. But it's more than a certification — it's a movement.

B Corps reimagine what success in business looks like. They prioritise long-term value over short-term gains, investing in people, communities, and the environment. These companies measure their success not just by profit, but by the positive impact they create.

There are currently over 10,000 Certified B Corps across 160+ industries worldwide — employing over 1 million people. Here in Australia and New Zealand, nearly 750 B Corps are leading the way in creating a more inclusive, sustainable, and accountable business landscape.

Why We're On This Journey

At Milford Specialist Recruitment, we believe recruitment can and should be a force for good. Becoming a B Corp is our commitment to:

• Support ethical and purpose-led organisations in building outstanding teams.

• Embed sustainability and social impact into every facet of our business.

• Lead by example — showing that recruitment can contribute positively to both people and the planet.

For us, it’s not just about finding the right talent — it’s about working with clients and candidates who share our vision of a more equitable, ethical future.

How We're Taking Action

Becoming a B Corp isn’t easy — and that’s the point. It requires a deep audit of how we operate, how we treat our team, our environmental footprint, our community impact, and our governance. We're embracing this challenge as an opportunity to grow and improve.

We’re already working to:

✅ Strengthen our internal policies on diversity, inclusion, and fair pay

✅ Reduce our environmental impact and improve sustainability in our operations

✅ Support mission-aligned businesses with their recruitment needs

✅ Wellness and mindfulness events such as yoga / Pilates/ meditation and nutrition

✅ Increase transparency and accountability across all levels of the business

Join Us on the Journey

Whether you're a client, candidate, or partner — your support fuels this mission. If you're a purpose-driven organisation or individual who believes in the power of business as a force for good, we’d love to work with you.

Becoming a B Corp is just one step — but it’s a powerful one. Together, we can build a better future for work, people, and the planet.
