Reflecting on 2024 through Our B Corp Impact Report
We are thrilled to share tml Partners’ B Corp Impact Report for 2024. This comprehensive document underscores our steadfast dedication to sustainability, equity, and creating positive societal change.
Certified as a B Corp since 2022, we continue to integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into every facet of our operations, fostering growth, innovation, and trust within our global network.
This year’s report underscores how our five B Corp pillars – People, Customers, Community, Environment, and Governance – are shaping our journey and delivering positive change.
Empowering Our People
2024 marked another stride in fostering an exceptional workplace culture. With over 20% of employees promoted internally and a gender-diverse management team, we prioritised professional development through initiatives like tmWELL and tml Enhance, offering masterclasses in executive search, DE&I, and leadership.
A 90% satisfaction score in our engagement surveys reflects our relentless focus on employee well-being and self-improvement.
Delighting Our Customers
Our clients remain central to our purpose. This year, we surpassed 285 five-star Google reviews – a reflection of the exceptional service we provide. We furthered our DE&I efforts by conducting the UK’s first anonymised diversity survey in the marketing industry, generating actionable insights to foster inclusive leadership and enable our clients to make a meaningful impact. Fee discounts for purpose-driven clients also exemplify our ethos of aligning profit with purpose.
Supporting Communities
Through The Tomorrow Foundation, we doubled our pro-bono hours and supported causes like Resurgo and City Gateway with weekly coaching sessions. We exceeded fundraising goals, enabling the construction of a new water facility in Kenya alongside our partnership with Dig Deep. Our partnerships continue to enhance educational opportunities and promote social mobility.
Driving Environmental Change
In 2024, we enhanced our environmental stewardship by reducing greenhouse gas emissions per employee and planting over 4,500 trees. These efforts align with our goal of achieving five times our carbon savings relative to our emissions, underpinned by participation in verified carbon avoidance projects.
Upholding Strong Governance
Accountable to all stakeholders, we leveraged our B Corp certification to guide responsible decision-making, from supporting underrepresented talent to advancing sustainability. With a score of 95.0 in the B Impact Assessment – far exceeding the average score for traditional businesses – we are setting a benchmark for continuous improvement as we approach our 2025 recertification.
Looking Ahead
This year has been a journey of impact, recognition, and inspiration. From being a finalist for the DE&I Champion of the Year Award at the British Business Excellence Awards to being listed in The Recruiter’s HOT 100, our milestones are a shared success with our team, clients, and communities.
As we turn the page to 2025, we remain steadfast in our commitment to building the world’s most trusted marketing headhunters, proving that business can indeed be a force for good.
