G2 Insurance Services is proud to announce that it recently became the first full-service insurance brokerage firm in Northern California to become a Certified B Corporation. By voluntarily meeting higher standards of performance, transparency and accountability, Certified B Corporations are raising the bar of social responsibility for companies around the world. Since its founding G2 has been committed to providing the finest insurance expertise and service, while continuously challenging current industry practices and maximizing social impact.

“We have a unique approach to building a business—we focus on building a community. We really believe it's important to create value for society, not just shareholders, so it's gratifying to see this belief validated with a B Corp Certification,” said Jason Goldman, a Principal at G2.

“As such, we make decisions that have a positive impact on our consumers, employees, suppliers and the environment,” added Matthew Goldman, another Principal at G2.

G2 traces its founding to over 50 years ago when Richard Goldman founded Goldman Insurance Services, the premier brokerage firm on the West Coast. Richard was not only Matthew and Jason Goldman’s grandfather but also a major philanthropist who founded with his late wife, Rhoda Goldman, the Goldman Environmental Prize. In early 2012, Jason and Matthew along with their partner, Larry Colton, began talking about how to reimagine their grandfather’s firm for the 21st century—combining a sophisticated, and perhaps retro, level of service with radical new ideas about evolving the client experience. This retro/radical approach would come to life in three principles: hire the best, most experienced professionals around; focus on new and disruptive ways to meet the ever-changing needs of clients; and deliver high-touch service that lives up to the Goldman name.

G2 Insurance Services is a brokerage firm that specializes in making connections—helping people connect hopes to plans, resources to opportunities and today to tomorrow. G2 is building a reputation on a tradition of excellence and by being a voice of innovation. And by reconnecting to their own past, they’re helping clients better connect to their future.
