As a Certified B Corp, we believe there’s a better path to a better world - one of action and purpose, inspiration and community.

Explore some of the key highlights from our report below: **Key highlights: 2024 in numbers** - We saw a 54% absolute reduction in our emissions compared to our baseline year of 2023! - After almost two years of hard work and dedication, we achieved B Corp Certification - Together, we facilitated 2,234,436 nights of pet sitting - We welcomed 77,244 new pets to our platform and rounded off 2024 with 234,389 pets in our community - We also supported 36 charities close to our hearts and donated £38k to help charities carry out vital work **Rescue and re-homing** In 2024, we continued working closely with our trusted charity partner, the Helen Woodward Animal Center, to support their life-changing work: - We donated £23K+ to help the Helen Woodward Animal Center feed and care for their rising puppy population - We created a pet care hub to help remove some of the blockers prospective pet parents were facing, such as training videos addressing leash pulling and separation anxiety - We provided a reduced TrustedHousesitters membership for all adoptions made through Helen Woodward in 2024 _Read our full 2024 Impact Report [here](https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/blog/news/trustedhousesitters-impact-report-2024/)_ **Of course, it’s you - our members - who make TrustedHousesitters possible, so a huge thank you to you all for your ongoing support, and for being a member of our pet-loving community!** ---

I must be behind the curve, but what does B Corp mean, without me having to google it? Could your post say what it means, please? Thanks! ---

Wowzers, 2.2 million nights of pet sitting in 2024 - so over 6,000 housesits active on a typical night. Gosh, congrats THS! I had no idea of the magnitude of housesitting industry. Or of THS commercial footprint. Heck, I had no idea that THS was a meaningful sized business with private equity investors. Huh, blow me over with a feather 😊. Certainly puts the occasional gnarly situational disclosure on THS Forum into context. ---

Hi @botvot Here’s a snippet from a post we shared about B Corp last year 🙂 **So, what is B Corp and what does it mean for TrustedHousesitters?** It means we’ve joined a group of global ethical business leaders with one unifying belief - making business a force for good. It’s not just a tagline - B Corps are held to the highest environmental and social standards and are legally committed to operating in the best interests of people, pets, and the planet. The assessment to get B Corp status is a rigorous analysis, evaluating the impact a business has on its employees, members, communities, and the environment. This wouldn’t be possible without our incredible members, who are all a part of creating a sustainable business that prioritises the wellbeing of animals through in-home pet care, while also reducing the environmental impact of travel through home sharing.
