Purcell publishes first B Corp Impact Report

Purcell has published its first B Corp Impact Report, marking an important milestone following our certification as a B Corporation® in 2025.

The report illustrates Purcell’s commitment to social and environmental responsibility across all our practice areas, from how we operate to the architecture, masterplanning and heritage consultancy we design and deliver with our clients and collaborators.

The 12-month certification process involved a comprehensive review of our business, and we identified opportunities to further strengthen our positive impact. The report captures these insights and benchmarks our progress across the five B Impact Areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers. 

We are committed to positive social impact: reimagining heritage in new ways, sustainably designing places where people can belong. This report reinforces our approach. Our first B Corp Impact Report now establishes a framework supporting our drive for continual improvement, with defined priorities focused on long-term, measurable impact.
