What does sustainability or responsible business mean?

There are many terms used in the business world to describe what we mean by sustainable and responsible business: ESG, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and business ethics are just a few. Ultimately, they all refer to the same 3 lenses:

Your business

Ensuring it's run responsibly, with ethics, transparency and accountability at it's core.

People

Ensuring that you create a positive social impact on the people and communities you work with and serve.

The planet

Ensuring that you consider and promote environmental sustainability through your business choices.

Why we've created this hub

As an insurer of 10,000+ small businesses across the UK, we see how pressures are growing to adopt more sustainable and responsible business practices.

We know how complicated this world can feel, and concerns that making these changes are costly and time-consuming are common.

But making the shift could be easier and quicker than you think.

That's why we've partnered with impact experts, Good Innovation, to create the Better Business Hub and bring together resources that can help you become more sustainable, responsible, and reap the rewards it could bring.

Our Ecologi partnership

What is Ecologi?

Ecologi is a platform that facilitates the funding of carbon offsetting and tree planting projects around the world. The team at Ecologi believes that everyone should have access to solutions to help save our planet.

Why have we partnered with Ecologi?

Beazley wanted to reward SME businesses for starting to take action on their journey to becoming a responsible and sustainable business and taking our health-check assessment is the first step to start this journey.

We chose to partner with Ecologi who are a B Corporation because they only fund offset projects which meet the highest verification standards, such as Gold Standard or Verified Carbon Standard. In addition, they aim to fund projects that meet other important sustainability standards like CCBS and SD VISsta.
