Being a B Corporation
In 2021 we became an accredited B Corp. This accreditation recognises our accomplishments in meeting rigorous social and environmental standards, which represent our commitment to goals outside of profit and having a positive impact on our people, clients and the environment.
We’re at the beginning of our B Corp journey, and although we’ve been recognised as a market leader, we’ll continue to look for more ways to support our people, help others, and help preserve our world.
The Fund, in partnership with Point North, is open to a huge network of community causes that fight poverty and enrich lives.
Our grants will go to those organisations that align with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals – No Poverty (SDG#1), Zero Hunger (SDG#2), Good Health & Well-Being (SDG#3), Quality Education (SDG#4), Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG#8), Reduced Inequalities (SDG#10), Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG#11) and Climate Action (SDG#13).
Point North identifies good community causes across the region, which Robson Laidler then considers for funding. This is then match funded by Point North, who administers the grants.

Working in the off-shore gas industry, Barrier came under some financial difficulty in 1995. They came to us for help, and we worked with them to give their creditors and authorities confidence to continue working together.
Since then, Barrier have gone on to develop their own products and expertise, which put them in a position to claim for R&D tax credits. We helped advise and support them through this application, which has led them to being ahead of their market in so many ways!
