The Commons Sustainability Actions

B Corp certified

In 2021, we were proud to become B-Corp Certified. B Corporations certifications are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose and create a more sustainable and inclusive economy.

Great Place to Work

In 2021, we were honoured with a Great Place to Work certification. The Great Place to Work certification recognises employers who create an outstanding employee experience. They anonymously surveyed our team about their work experience, and the Great Place to Work program assessed our workforce privately.

Invested in renewable energy

In 2019, we prioritised our environmental impact and invested in renewable energy to help offset our energy-related carbon emissions. In addition, we give our members easy options to make sustainable decisions in their daily lives by providing educational content, reusable containers, encouraging alternative modes of transportation, and keeping recycling bins accessible in all our spaces.
