Impact
macushlaw is a certified B Corp
B Corp certification is a designation that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials.
In addition, macushlaw has enumerated four key public interest aims that the firm places in equal priority with profit. Every year we closely track our impact and report on it annually based on internal KPIs (key performance indicators).
We are required to publish a report annually setting out our performance on the B Corp certification and our firm’s performance against its impact aims.
Below you can find our 2024 Annual Report, including our 2024 B Impact Assessment results and performance against our internal KPIs (key performance indicators)
