  • Congratulations Hive IT!

    We are delighted to announce that Hive IT | Certified B Corp™ has become accrEDIted™!

    Having been the first digital agency to become accrEDIted™, we are delighted Hive IT renewed their accreditation. We are even more thrilled to announce that in the last year, they have improved their scoring to move from Invested to Dedicated.

    Hive IT are a digital agency, with the clear goal; to make a positive difference to our world using the right tools and technology. Not only have they become accrEDIted™, they have also recently become a B-Corp. This demonstrates their authentic commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) for their people, their clients and community and a genuine desire to be an ethical business, doing good for the planet.

    Deliver Director, Liz Hnat commented “Following last year’s audit, we used the insights and recommendations provided by accrEDIted™ to focus on real, meaningful improvements and initiatives that we know are making a positive difference to our organisation and its commitment to EDI. The Hive EDI team have been incredibly dedicated, and this improvement in our accreditation is a lovely reflection of all their hard work.”

    Knowing how to measure and improve EDI performance has always been a complex challenge. accrEDIted™ was created to help organisations navigate these challenges and focus on continuous improvement, as well as celebrating and recognising their achievements – and Hive IT’s achievement shows it works!
