Proud to be B Corp

Proud to be B Corp

We’re really proud to share that Holiday Architects is now a certified B Corp, an achievement that's perfectly aligned with how we've always tried to do things here at HA.

B Corp Certification

What is B Corp?

You may well recognise the B Corp logo and have seen it popping up more and more over the last few years. B Corps are companies that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
The certification is run by the non-profit B Lab, and the process looks at how a business operates across five key areas: governance, workers, community, environment and customers.
In short, it asks whether a company is doing business in a way that benefits people and the planet, not just the bottom line.

How did we get certified?

Getting certified isn’t quick. Or easy! (And quite rightly so!) It involves months of gathering evidence, reviewing policies, tightening up processes and being honest about where you can do better. Every part of the business is examined, from how we treat our team, to how we work with local partners, to the impact our trips have on the communities and environments our travellers visit. And once certified, the work doesn’t stop. You recertify every three years, continually improving as you go and helping to ensure we're always laser-focused on being the best we can be.

Why it matters to us

For us, that challenge is exactly why it matters. We’ve always believed travel can (and should) be a force for good. Our whole approach is rooted in connection – with each other, with our clients, with our partners on the ground and with the places our travellers explore. Our Go Local itineraries, our long-standing relationships with local guides and small guesthouses, and our focus on responsible, meaningful travel aren’t new initiatives; they’re simply how we’ve always liked to work.
Becoming a B Corp hasn’t changed who we are. Instead, it recognises the values we’ve held for years and gives us a framework to keep pushing ourselves further. And that’s something we’re genuinely proud of.

A message from our Founder, Andy

"Getting B Corp certification has been an ambition of HA's for some time, so this is a major milestone and achievement for the team. What it showed is that HA had been doing the “right” things all along, and we're really excited to continue drawing on B Corp thinking and making the case for tourism as a force for good. HA has always believed that it’s meeting host communities that make travel special, and our Go Local suggested itineraries showcase some of the ways we try to amplify those interactions."
Andy, HA Founder
