Agile Communications Agency Achieves B Corp Certification

Agile Communications Agency earns prestigious B Corp status after 18-month journey

A Cornwall-based consultancy that blends Agile coaching with strategic communications has officially become a certified B Corporation.

Agile Communications Agency is now part of a global network of over 9,500 B Corps across 102 countries and 160 industries, recognised for meeting high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.

“A natural and powerful step forward”

The certification marks a major milestone for the company, which was founded in 2018. Based in Cornwall but working nationally and internationally, Agile supports purpose-led organisations including the University of Oxford, environmental NGO ClientEarth, Whitbread, and the International Transition Plan Network. Locally, the agency works with Cornwall Council, Truro Town Deal, Unlocking Potential and Tech Cornwall.

Founder and director Rachel Foster said:
“It’s been my ambition to become part of the B Corp movement for five years. Purpose, people and place has been built into this business since the beginning, so this certification feels like a natural and powerful step forward.
“It’s recognition that how we work matters just as much as what we do—and that businesses can be a force for good without compromising on performance.”

Rigorous certification process

The accreditation process, which took 18 months to complete, involved a thorough assessment of the company’s supply chain, employee wellbeing and overall operations.

Charla Symons, who led the certification journey, said:
“The B Corp process challenged every aspect of how we operate – from supply-chain transparency to employee wellbeing. Achieving certification is testament to our team’s dedication and to the partners who trust us to tell stories that move communities toward a fairer, low-carbon future.”

With the UK’s B Corp community now exceeding 2,400 companies, Rachel and her team join a growing movement proving that businesses can deliver strong performance while having a positive impact.
