It’s B Corp Month, a chance to celebrate businesses that prove you can do well by doing good. At Oxford HR, we’re proud to be part of this global movement. For us, being a B Corp isn’t just a badge, it’s how we work: with purpose, integrity, and a real commitment to the impact sector.
Over the past year, we’ve worked with 75+ mission led clients tackling some of the world’s biggest challenges from sustainability and human rights to equitable health and education. That’s over 160 executive search assignments, plus 121 leadership assessments, 38 coaching sessions, and 18 organisational consulting and training projects.
More than half of the leaders we placed were women, and 40% came from outside the global north. Leadership should reflect the world we live in, and we’re proud to play a part in making that happen.
Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) isn’t something you support, it’s something you do, and we were recently recognised for our work here at the B Local Oxfordshire Spotlight event. This year we published the research report Beyond Representation with fellow B Corp Charity People and ran our signature inclusive recruitment training for the team at B Lab UK. In 2025 we co-sponsored the 2025 Race Report (Racial Action for the Climate Emergency). We’re always exploring new ways to champion co-leadership and collective leadership models and deepen our understanding of what inclusion means.
Giving back isn’t just a nice idea, it’s built into our culture. Each team member has three volunteering days per year so they can sit on charity boards, work in the community and mentor others. We’ve given our time to organisations like Homeshare International and the Oxford Hub, alongside local projects like furniture donations to Oxford’s last remaining Young People’s Club. As Oxford Hub said:
“The advice and support from Oxford HR has been exemplary, helping us navigate complex situations and support our staff team, who are our lifeblood.”
We also like procuring from other B Corps, like Oxygen and GoodFX, keeping collaboration, culture, and purpose at the heart of what we do. And while we’re proud of the progress we’ve made, we now need to focus on reducing our environmental footprint and finding ever-better ways to measure and deliver impact.
This B Corp Month, we celebrate the power of business to do good, and we reaffirm our commitment to supporting organisations that are changing the world.
