RideTandem is B Corp Certified

Written by

RideTandem is now B Corp Certified - an endorsement of its continued commitment to meeting high standards of performance, accountability and transparency. 

Since launching in 2019, RideTandem has completed more than 1.5 million journeys, helped organisations avoid more than 16,000 tonnes of CO2 and supported people to earn £66 million in wages.

Tatseng Chiam, co-founder and COO of RideTandem, said: "We started RideTandem with the aim of making it one of the best companies to work for. Being awarded B Corp Certification shows the commitment we’ve made to making RideTandem a company that we can be proud of.”

What is B Corp? 

Started in 2006 by B Lab, businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency are able to become B Corp certified. 

By certifying, B Corps commit to continuous improvement. Businesses must recertify every three years to demonstrate they are still meeting the high standards expected by B Lab. 

What does it take to become B Corp Certified? 

Becoming certified is a rigorous process and only 3% of applicants manage to achieve certification. 

Tatseng continued: “We've put lots of time and effort towards ensuring our staff are well looked after and our business contributes positively to the environment. 

Tatseng added: "Becoming certified is very difficult - we've been through rigorous assessments and had to demonstrate accountability and transparency through every level of our business. It's testament to the hard work of everyone at RideTandem that we've achieved such an amazing goal."
