Why comsim became a Certified B Corporation
comsim is now a Certified B Corporation™.
B Corp certification recognises companies that meet verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
For us, certification represents roughly eighteen months of detailed work examining how the company actually operates. That process involved documenting policies, reviewing governance structures, analysing operational data, and ensuring that the standards we claim publicly can be independently verified.
Certification does not introduce new principles. It formalises the systems and governance structures that already shape how we operate.
What the certification process involved
From the outside, B Corp certification can appear simple: a score, a badge, and an announcement.
Behind that sits a detailed process.
The assessment requires businesses to review how decisions are made across governance, workers, community impact, environmental responsibility, and customer accountability.
In our case this meant reviewing everything from governance policies and decision frameworks to operational practices across a distributed, remote-first business.
Following the assessment, comsim achieved a B Impact Score of 82.5. For a company only three years old, that is a strong starting point.
Why it mattered to us
When comsim was founded, many of the early conversations focused on how the company should operate over the long term.
The conclusion we kept returning to was simple.
If we believed businesses should operate responsibly, those principles needed to be embedded in the foundations of the company rather than added later.
The B Corp framework gave us a way to test that idea properly.
Certification requires organisations to examine how responsibility is carried through governance, policy, and decision-making structures.
In many ways the process mirrors the conversations we often have with our clients.
Technology decisions are rarely just technology decisions. They are business decisions that shape how organisations grow, how teams work, and how responsibility flows through systems and governance.
This is closely aligned with the work we do supporting manufacturers through complex digital transformation, systems governance, and ERP readiness planning.
Commercial discipline and long-term responsibility are not competing ideas. They belong together.
Transparency and governance
A large part of the certification process involved creating and documenting the policies that now sit behind the company.
Those policies cover areas such as governance structures, environmental commitments, community engagement, and decision-making frameworks.
Many of these documents are now published openly through our legal and policy pages.
Not because they make exciting reading, but because transparency only works when the structures behind it are visible.
Processes like this force a business to examine how it actually operates.
Not how it appears in marketing.
But how responsibility is embedded in its systems.
The beginning of the work
Certification is not the end of the process.
The B Corp framework itself continues to evolve, raising the standards companies must meet.
Over the coming months we will:
- Publish our first Impact Report
- Continue refining governance and policy structures
- Align website communications with B Corp guidance
- Improve how we measure and report our impact
Responsible businesses are not built through announcements.
They are built through systems, governance, and the discipline to measure what matters.
Acknowledgements
This milestone belongs to the people who carried the work.
The entire comsim team contributed to the policies, documentation, and operational detail required for certification.
In particular, Anett Villanyi, co-founder and Managing Director, drove the certification process from start to finish.
We were also fortunate to work alongside Transformacy, whose expertise and structured guidance helped us navigate the assessment and verification process.
We are proud to now be part of the global B Corp community and look forward to continuing the work that sits behind the certification.
