Deeplink achieves B Corp certification! and becomes the 1st AI start-up certified in Switzerland. B Corporations (or B Corps) are a growing group of companies that are reinventing business, pursuing a goal as well as profit. Deeplink has been certified as a B Corp for meeting rigorous social and environmental standards that represent its commitment to goals other than shareholder profit.
B Corp certification covers your entire business and five key impact areas: governance, workers, community, environment and customers. The certification process is rigorous, requiring you to achieve a score above 80 and provide evidence of socially and environmentally responsible practices – including energy procurement, waste and water use, worker compensation, diversity and corporate transparency. To achieve certification, the company must legally incorporate its commitment to pursue a goal beyond profit into its articles of association.
“We are very proud to be the first AI startup in Switzerland to achieve this B Corp certification! It shows that our commitments and actions made from the beginning make sense, and that together we are transforming the global economy to benefit all people, communities and the planet.” – Jérôme Berthier
Deeplink is now part of a community of more than 4,300 companies worldwide that have achieved B Corps certification.
The B Corp community reflects the European economy with companies of all sizes and sectors. These include well-known brands such as Innocent, Patagonia, Alpro, Triodos Bank, Alessi and Ecoalf.
The recent attention from the artificial intelligence industry makes Deeplink’s B Corp certification a significant milestone, and signals a move towards greater accountability and transparency in the sector.
