Partnering for Good: Coopman’s B Corp Month Update

March is B Corp Month — a time to celebrate companies using business as a force for good. At Coopman, we’re proud to be part of that community. But for us, B Corp is more than a logo — it shapes how we partner with clients and candidates every day.

At Coopman, we believe business can, and should, be a force for good. This B Corp Month, we wanted to take a moment to reconnect and share what we’ve been working on, what’s ahead, and how partnering with us can help drive meaningful impact together.

We’re proud to be the first recruitment company in Ireland to achieve B Corp certification — and even prouder to share that we’ve recently been successfully recertified! You can view our updated score below, or through the B Corp Directory here. (This score reflects how we measure up in areas such as governance, community impact, environmental responsibility, and employee wellbeing. B Lab continues to provide the framework we use to ensure purpose and impact stay at the core of our business decisions.

Our Commitment in Action

At Coopman, we believe businesses shouldn’t just be the best in the world, but the best for the world. Recently, our Dublin and London teams have been coming together to support local community initiatives, reflecting our ongoing commitment to social and environmental responsibility. Our Charity partners in Dublin are Irish Youth Foundation and we have some exciting volunteer opportunities coming up which we’ll share below. Shelter UK is our UK charity partner and we’ve had previous initiatives which we shared to raise vital funds. Shelter exist to defend the right to a safe home and to fight the devastating impact the housing emergency is having on people and our society. An issue that is becoming increasingly critical as this crisis prevails.

Our Sustainability Promise: Planting Trees, Growing Impact

Five years ago, we pledged to plant 10 trees for every placement made, in partnership with One Tree Planted, and fast forward to today, we’ve planted over 3000 trees within this partnership.

We’re excited to announce that for B Corp Month this year, we’re doubling that impact—planting 20 trees per placement for all placements in Q1. Keep an eye out for our LinkedIn post showcasing the number of trees this month! Partnering with Coopman means making an impact beyond individual placements — our work is about building long-term, purpose-led leadership for lasting change.

What’s in The Pipeline for this year?

Scaling Our Social Impact
We’re deepening our involvement with charity partners and expanding sustainability initiatives. Our London team will run the Royal Parks Half Marathon for the third year in a row, raising vital funds for Shelter UK.

B Corp Re-certification Achieved
We’re proud to have successfully re-certified as a B Corp for another three years! This milestone challenges us to aim higher, and we’re setting bigger goals to enhance our impact as a small but ambitious business.

Bigger, Bolder Goals
Looking ahead, our strategy focuses on driving long-term change in our industry: strengthening sustainability practices, increasing community involvement and fostering meaningful client and candidate partnerships.

Community at the Core
We’re dedicating more time, energy, and resources to causes that matter, and we encourage you to follow along on LinkedIn for regular updates and practical insights on how to grow into a B Corp business yourself.

We’re proud to be trusted by clients who know what great partnership looks like:

Coopman understood our brief well and tailored the candidate selection expertly to meet our requirements. We were impressed with the quality of the candidates and Coopman assisted us in preparing the company background and job description. We would be happy to use Coopman again for our recruitment needs.

Trusted by industry leaders:

We partnered with Coopman to support a critical executive search project, where their expertise was instrumental in helping us identify and secure top-tier talent for a senior specialist leadership role. From the outset, Coopman took the time to understand not just the technical requirements of the role but also the culture of our organisation and the leadership qualities that would drive success in our environment. The engagement was seamless, collaborative, and focused on delivering the right outcome for our business.

We’re proud to partner with so many other B Corps and volunteer initiatives as we continue driving our business for good. This month is a great moment to reflect on that journey — and look for new ways to improve.

Being part of the B Corp community keeps us accountable — to our clients, candidates, and community. We focus on long-term partnerships, transparent processes, and always champion diverse, purpose-driven leadership. We’re proud to be part of a global movement of businesses that balance purpose and profit. If you’re looking for future-focused, values-led talent solutions, let’s talk.
