Case Study: Notogroup, Inc achieves stronger workplace policies and a higher B Impact Score with B Impact Assessment

Notogroup, Inc - Customer Case Study

Notogroup, Inc., a small executive search firm in Portland, Oregon, used the B Impact Assessment to evaluate how well its practices matched its mission. The company initially expected to pass easily, but the assessment revealed gaps in policies, procedures, and documentation, including the lack of an employee handbook and formal community engagement policies.

With guidance from B Impact Assessment, Notogroup, Inc. implemented a code of ethics, a volunteer and community engagement program, social and environmental performance reviews, energy-use tracking, and mission updates to its operating agreement. These changes led to a customized 35-plus page employee handbook and helped raise its B Impact Score to 86, above the average company score of 80.
