Law firm Whitehead Monckton and HR partner firm Eclipse HR are proud to announce that they have achieved B Corp certification, a globally recognised certification awarded to businesses verified as meeting B Lab standards for social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.

Eclipse HR was assessed together with Whitehead Monckton, on the same standards, to jointly achieve the certification, a reflection of the two firms’ shared values and focus on accountability for their impact on their clients, staff and environment.

As a B Corp  in the legal sector, Whitehead Monckton is among only around 40 UK law firms to have achieved B Corp certification to date, making this a significant achievement.

Why Whitehead Monckton and Eclipse HR Pursued B Corp Certification

The decision to pursue B Corp status reflects both companies’ longstanding commitment to balancing business practices and a belief that law and HR firms have a meaningful role to play in shaping a fairer, more sustainable economy.

“At Eclipse HR, our focus has always been on supporting organisations in a way that is both people-centred and commercially effective.  Pursuing B Corp certification alongside our parent company, Whitehead Monckton Solicitors, was a natural step for us, as it reflects the values we already strive to embed in our work every day. For us, B Corp is about accountability; ensuring that how we operate, advise and support our clients positively impacts not only their organisations but also their people, communities and the wider environment. This certification reinforces our commitment to doing business responsibly and gives our clients confidence that we hold ourselves to the highest standards of transparency and continuous improvement.” Veronica Fox, Senior HR Consultant, Eclipse HR.

Why B Corp Matters

The B Corp movement is one of the fastest-growing global initiatives for responsible business. By joining this community, Whitehead Monckton aligns itself with organisations that believe business can, and should, be a force for good. For their clients, the certification offers reassurance that the firm’s operations, culture, and decision making are grounded in measurable, independently assessed standards.

“B Corp is not just a badge,” added Christopher. “It’s a commitment to continuous improvement. It challenges us to consider the impact of every decision on our people, our clients, our communities, and the planet.”

A Commitment to Long‑Term Positive Impact

B Corp certification requires organisations to demonstrate positive impact across several key impact areas, including community, staff and the environment. The process involved looking at the firm’s supply chain, carbon audits and emissions reductions, as well as their commitment to client services, and support for people who work for their clients and the community.

With a 3-year certification now achieved, Whitehead Monckton and Eclipse HR will publish annual impact updates and continue to develop initiatives that support environmental sustainability, employee wellbeing, community engagement, and ethical client service.
