We have some exciting news to share...

We’ve been busy behind the scenes here at Aspects Holidays and after lots of hard work, we are thrilled to announce that we have achieved B Corp certification. B Corp is a global certification for businesses that put people and planet at the forefront of what they do, using their profit and success to do good. This has been a challenging, insightful, and rewarding experience. The process is thorough, with every element of our business reviewed to ensure we conduct ourselves with care and responsibility for the people and planet. 

Our small and friendly holiday letting agency began as a family business over 30 years ago, and those strong family values are still firmly rooted in our company today. This, combined with our love of the environment, instilled a desire to join like-minded companies that strive to be better. 

Whilst we’ve always had confidence in the way we work, with people at the heart of what we do, B Corp has provided us with a platform to test our standards and have our values recognised. It’s also pushed us to improve what we already do and find new ways to be better. 

With strong foundations already in place, we began measuring our impact across the five main areas of the B Impact Assessment, outlined as follows:

Governance: enhancing policies and practices to best reflect company values

Workers: supporting employees’ professional and personal wellbeing 

Community: contributing financially and socially to the community

Environment: taking into account our environmental impact 

Customers: delivering the best possible service to customers 

The average score on the B Impact Assessment is 55, and achieving B Corp Certification requires 80. The higher the score, the better. We are proud to have achieved 90.2, but we will continually work to make improvements and raise this score. 

As we began the assessment, aiming for the all-important figure of 80, we discovered new ways to improve and build upon our existing foundations. We are incredibly passionate about creating memorable holidays, but we are just as passionate about where we live and the people who live here. We pledge to challenge ourselves to continually grow and change for the better, and to proudly uphold the values of our B Corp status.
