Leiden, September 2, 2024 – De Clercq Lawyers Notary is pleased to announce that it has officially received B Corp certification. With this certification, the firm joins a global network of organizations that contribute to a sustainable and responsible society.
“We are very pleased to have achieved B Corp certification,” says Natascha van Duuren, partner at De Clercq. “We have long been committed to working in an ethical, responsible, and positive manner. Now, we can also proudly call ourselves a B Corp.”
B Corps are companies that voluntarily meet high standards of social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. The certification is awarded by B Lab, a global nonprofit organization that evaluates companies based on their impact on employees, customers, communities, and the environment.
To achieve B Corp certification, De Clercq underwent a comprehensive and intensive assessment process that evaluated various aspects of our business operations, governance, and impact on stakeholders. “We believe that as legal professionals, we have a responsibility not only to our clients but also to our employees, the society and the environment,” adds Van Duuren. “Achieving a B Corp certification perfectly aligns with our values and strengthens our commitment to embedding sustainability and social impact into our core business practices.”
