When evaluating companies of today, it can be challenging to distinguish those that truly embody social and environmental concerns within their corporate values. A Certified B Corporation (B stands for ‘Benefit’) is an accreditation showing that a company voluntarily meets standards of transparency, accountability, and performance. Unlike traditional corporations that look only to benefit the shareholders, Certified B Corporations are required to consider the impact their decisions have on customers, employees, suppliers, community, and the environment.
To become a Certified B Corporation requires companies to undergo a rigorous B Impact Assessment, this determines the overall impact of a company’s standards of social and environmental performance.
Becoming a B Corp is a highly effective means for Trico Homes to build a collective voice through the power of the unifying B Corporation brand and to become part of an elite group of corporate, and community leaders.
Trico Homes is proud to become a Certified B Corporation. Our vision resonates with that of the B Corp: to achieve a positive environmental footprint, provide employees with a great place to work, and to build stronger communities.
Building Better Communities
Trico Homes understands there is more to building better communities than just constructing quality crafted homes, a responsible builder needs to support communities and partner with organizations that develop programs for education, recreation, charity and multiculturalism.
Trico Homes is committed to triple bottom line development, while being profitable is important, so is the social and environmental bottom line. A sustainable B Corporation strives to maximize stakeholder value within means. Trico will continue to engage in practices that provide benefits to customers, employees, trades, suppliers and the communities we live and work in.
