Agile Communications Agency gains B Corp Certification

Wednesday 27th August, 2025

B Corporations are recognised for meeting high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability – and The Agile Communications Agency recently joined the global community of more than 2,400 certified B Corps in the UK, and 9,500 B Corps across 102 countries and 160 industries.

The certification marks a major milestone for the consultancy, which is based in Kernow House, on Gas Hill. “It’s been my ambition to become part of the B Corp movement for five years,” said founder and director Rachel Foster. “Purpose, people and place have 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.”

Set up in 2018, Agile works across the UK and internationally with clients including the University of Oxford, environmental non-governmental organisation (NGO) ClientEarth, Whitbread and the International Transition Plan Network. Locally, the team supports Cornwall Council, Truro Town Deal, Unlocking Potential and Tech Cornwall.

Charla Symons, who led the 18-month accreditation 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.” https://agilecomms.agency
