Two years ago, I began a journey on behalf of Riverlee, and I knew it would take the whole business to get there.
That journey was our B Corp certification process. One question sat at the centre of it: are we operating in a way that reflects the values we talk about every day?
Answering it meant looking closely at how we operate – how we support our people, work with our partners, and contribute to the communities and places we create.
We’re proud to share that Riverlee is now a Certified B Corporation, joining a global community of businesses working to create a more sustainable and inclusive economy. At its heart, it’s a reminder of what we believe in: good places, good communities, and a good way of doing business.
As you’ll see throughout this update, those values continue to shape the places we create and the communities we’re proud to be part of.
Warmly,
Marley Soares
Office Manager, Riverlee
Putting purpose into practice
Riverlee joins the B Corp community
For Riverlee, B Corp Certification builds on work already underway. In 2023, we formalised Impact at Riverlee, our framework for considering our impact on people, places and the planet across sustainability, Indigenous recognition, community, and diversity, equity and inclusion.
B Corp was the natural next step, providing an external standard to measure that commitment against. Verified by B Lab across social, environmental and governance performance, the certification reflects our ongoing belief that development can be a force for good, creating places,
partnerships and communities that generate lasting value.
