Residence Achieves B Corp Certification for Network of Creative Companies

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Residence, a global network of creative companies, has achieved B Corp Certification, a rigorous third-party standard for social and environmental performance, with every company in its network earning the designation. The certification, which requires companies to meet defined performance requirements across seven impact topics, was a multi-year process for Residence. Each company in Residence completed the assessment, which covered every part of their operations, including salaries and benefits, client rosters, office energy use, and sustainability practices.

The companies in Residence, which includes ACRONYM, BUCK, Creative Lives in Progress, GateMaker, Giant Ant, It's Nice That, OK COOL, Part and Sum, and wild, answered approximately 150 questions and provided detailed documentation for independent verification. This process was completed in 2024, and in 2025, Residence committed to emissions-reduction targets aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative. Over the years, Residence has partnered with purpose-driven clients, including nonprofits, government agencies, other B Corps, women-owned and underrepresented-led businesses, to advance social good at scale.

B Lab, the nonprofit organization behind the B Corp movement, praised Residence for achieving B Corp Certification, noting that it is an uncommon and impressive achievement to see nine independent companies pursue certification together. The B Corp Certification process requires companies to meet defined performance requirements across seven impact topics, including Purpose and Stakeholder Governance, Climate Action, Human Rights, Fair Work, Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, Environmental Stewardship and Circularity, and Government Affairs and Collective Action.
