Our Positive Impact Commitment

At Positive Momentum, we believe in business as a force for good. We’re here to energise business and people in ways that create real, lasting impact—not just for our clients, but for society and the environment too.

We believe firmly that businesses have a crucial role to play in putting the Earth first, creating a more sustainable and equitable society, and building a happy, diverse, and inclusive workplace. We’re committed to achieving the best outcomes for people and for the planet.

This isn’t about ticking boxes or chasing scores. It’s about doing the right thing and doing it well. Our commitment is already part of how we work—from the clients we support to the way we operate as a fully remote team, and through initiatives like our Social Impact and Sustainability programmes. But we’re not stopping there. We’re actively exploring where else we can make a meaningful difference.

This statement reflects a shared commitment across our company – whether Managing Partner, Partner or Support Team member, led with intent by our Managing Partner, and is published openly on our website www.positivemomentum. com/responsibility, because we believe in transparency, accountability, and always striving to go further.

Proud to be a B Corp

B Corporations are companies verified to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.

After careful consideration, we chose this as our measure of impact. We knew that the standards required to achieve B Corp status would be high, and therefore meaningful.

In 2024, we are delighted to announce that we have recertified as a B Corporation. B Corp is a growing community of businesses leading the transformation of the global economic system. Since our initial certification in 2021, the number of B Corp certified companies has increased to more than 9,337 companies across 162 industries, all united by a single goal: to use business as a force for good.

Environmental Impact

We’re committed to minimising our impact on the planet while building a vibrant and commercially successful business.

We’re proud to be a multi-million-pound global consultancy with no permanent offices. We carefully consider our use of resources and strive to be as efficient as possible with travel, collateral, and operations. By embracing modern technology, flexible ways of working, and all the collaborative tools the 21st century offers, we reduce our environmental footprint and tap into a broader pool of brilliant talent that a traditional setup might limit.

At Positive Momentum, impact matters — in everything we do. That’s why, when it comes to the environment, we don’t just aim for neutrality. We calculate the carbon footprint of every client engagement and offset it at 110%, ensuring we go beyond reducing harm to actively creating a positive impact. Since 2021, we’ve offset the carbon footprint of our limited company operations, and since 2023, we’ve extended this to all client engagements.

Social Impact

Giving back matters to us. We’re committed to creating a more equitable society and supporting the next generation of leaders — wherever we operate.

Each year, we support a range of NGOs and not-for-profit organisations, with every member of Positive Momentum choosing a cause close to their heart for us to donate to. We also run a matched giving scheme to amplify any donations made by our team.

We encourage and enable active contribution: our people are given paid time off to volunteer, and many of our team sit on or chair boards of organisations doing meaningful work. We’re proud to support and mentor young people through partnerships with The Aleto Foundation, Generation Success, the Udayan Shalini Fellowship (USF) programme, and Empathy Week, a social enterprise helping young people develop leadership through empathy.

In India, Positive Momentum proudly supports the Udayan programme, which protects and nurtures vulnerable young people. Our Indian business contributes 10% of earnings to Udayan, directly funding a care home for young girls and helping to build a brighter future for the next generation.

Our Employees

We do our utmost to support the welfare of our employees and to develop their potential to the fullest. 

We invest in the training and development of our people with a focused program of professional development, coaching and support.

Our employees work fully from home with flexible hours to support their lifestyle and needs. Regular team building off-sites give us the opportunity for face-to-face get-togethers and relationship building.

Our well-being package includes pension, medical insurance, generous holiday allowance and life insurance. We regularly review the salaries of our employees to reflect rising inflation and cost-of-living increases. 

Diversity & Inclusion

As a global team, we are proud to work alongside colleagues and clients who come from varied cultures, backgrounds and communities.

Embedded in our company values are collaboration, authenticity and the exchange of different viewpoints.  We strive to recruit and retain people from a diverse talent pool and we have developed a blind process for the recruitment of full time employees to help us combat unconscious bias.

Our employees working from home is a key part of our diversity & inclusion strategy as this gives people who cannot work traditional hours in an office the opportunity to thrive.
