Positive Change

The team at LAVA is passionate about using its fortunate position, resources and expertise to make a positive difference to our society. To show our commitment to this we are proud to have achieved BCorp certification. B Corps are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy.

In line with this, we have committed to make an annual donation equivalent to 2.5% of our revenue each year to support charitable organisations, with a particular focus on those that advance the education of children and young people in building psychological resilience and preparedness for adulthood in the working world.

Our Charity Partners

One such organisation that has benefitted from our support is Happy Space UK.

Happy Space is a mental wellbeing charity, dedicated to helping students ask and answer the question “Why don’t I feel okay?”. They aim to provide students with a wellbeing toolkit in order to help protect the minds of a future generation.

We have also donated £1,000 per employee to help fund UNICEF’s work in Ukraine and with refugees in neighbouring countries.

Our Partnership With Furthr

We also recently entered into a strategic investment and partnership with Furthr, the world’s most engaging climate action platform offering an employee benefits service that makes climate action fun and easy.

Our employees have been given access to their monthly subscription service, offsetting LAVA’s carbon footprint and working towards a carbon-neutral future for the business as it grows.

Additionally our financial investment in Furthr will contribute to the development of their new engagement platform and the growth of the team. As part of the partnership, LAVA will also act as a strategic investor, providing insights and advice, and helping Furthr to seek and secure future investment.

About B Corp

Certified B Corporations are businesses that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.

B Corps form a community of leaders and drive a global movement of people using business as a force for good, with 5,575 businesses globally who have certified, and 950 companies in the UK.

The B Corp community works toward reduced inequality, lower levels of poverty, a healthier environment, stronger communities, and the creation of more high quality jobs with dignity and purpose.

The certification process addressed the entirety of our operations and covered five key impact areas of governance, workers, community, environment and customers.

Help Us Make The Change

We are always looking for additional charitable and social organisations that would welcome support.

If you are aware of an organisation that would benefit from our help, either financial or through mentoring, please get in touch by emailing m.counsell@lavaadvisory.com outlining how you think we can help and why you are looking for support at this time.

While we have a particular focus on children and young people, we are keen to support organisations that further the commitment we have made through our B Corp status.

A positive difference

LAVA is very proud to have achieved B Corp certification.
This means we have joined a growing group of companies and leaders that are reinventing business by pursuing purpose as well as profit. By demonstrating the highest standards of social and environmental impact, including committing to donate 2.5% of our revenue each year to support charitable organisations, we aim to show our commitment to using business as a force for good.
